This course is taking place entirely online! Families are rich with material for storytelling, and telling family stories can bring you closer to your history, your heritage and give you a new understanding and appreciation for your family. For this online course, you will choose a story that can be based on people from your family, from your own personal experience in your family, on important places in your family’s history or on particular events that happened in your family.
In this online course, you will learn how to: choose a focus for your story, decide what details to include, and develop a narrative that will make the story a good and important one to tell.
Celia Lottridge has been a part of Storytelling Toronto since the organization began and has taken and taught many of the courses offered. She is particularly interested in helping tellers develop their understanding of a story and perfect skills that will make their telling effective for an audience.
