"I'm not a storyteller, but I want to be."
"I've got stories, but I don't know how to tell them."
If you have said either of those two statements (or something around the edges), this is the class for you. You will explore the fundamentals of story: What is it? Why do we tell stories? Why do they work? You will create a list of some of your most interesting and meaningful stories, learn the building blocks of effective storytelling, and even do some hands-on story crafting. This course is for beginners, or for those more seasoned storytellers who want to return to the basics. It will be fun, interactive, and practical. Your facilitator is Michael McRay, former host of Tenx9 Nashville Storytelling, which has seen nearly 800 stories told live on stage over 8 years. He works with people around the world to find, develop, and capture their stories. And over these four weeks, he'll guide you too.
