Three-week Storytelling Bootcamp Series

In this workshop with David Crabb, students will learn advanced mining exercises to help find the meaningful stories from their lives. Through exercises & brief lectures about structure, details and truth, each student will leave class with a compelling 6-10 minute story. Learn advanced techniques to mine for stories from your past experiences. Find out how to craft your story in a way that will keep your audience engaged. Explore performance strategies that help you locate your truest, boldest onstage persona. Some experience with storytelling, stand-up, writing or performance is helpful, but not required.
