Course Description:
Are you curious about storytelling? Would you like to learn from the comfort of your own home? This beginners’ course will help you to 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 which 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 in every class, you will get supportive feedback. Each week, you will learn about a new aspect of storytelling through lecture, discussion and hands-on experience.
Lynn is a patient and experienced instructor who knows how to make an online class fun. A professional storyteller herself, she has told stories to everyone from toddlers to seniors, indulging in her passion for folktales and for stories from Canadian history.
