In this four-week workshop, we will explore basic storytelling techniques with hands-on crafting and sharing. You will learn essential storytelling skills, including how to craft, write, and perform your personal narratives. We’ll also cover: tricks to hold your audience’s attention; how to book storytelling shows; and how to overcome performance fears. Everyone will have the chance to practice all of the techniques covered in class, and the group will be limited to eight people. Story Jam producer, director, and writer, Stephanie Rogers, will lead the class. Steph holds a degree in acting from Northwestern University and a master's in writing from National Louis University.
