Are you curious about storytelling? Would you like to learn from the comfort of your own home? This beginners’ course will help you discover the basics of what makes an engaging tale and how to tell one without notes! We’ll use folktales as a starting point to learn principles you can apply to any other story. You will discover your strengths as you work in partners and small groups. Every class, you will tell a story and receive supportive feedback. Each week, you will learn about a new aspect of storytelling through lecture, discussion, and hands-on experience. By the final class, you will be telling your story to the whole group.
