Venue: The Writers Workshop
Facilitator: Carmel Page
Once upon a time everyone was a storyteller. It's something we can all learn to do. Practice, feedback and advice are the three things that help most. This session has them all and is suitable for beginners or experienced tellers.
Five people will have the opportunity to perform for fifteen minutes each. They can tell a story and receive feedback and advice during that time. Tellers can opt to tell and just receive applause if they prefer and they can ask specific questions about their performance. The audience will be encouraged to reflect on the story and make comments which will benefit the teller.
This event is about oral storytelling, but if anyone wishes to use notes that is not a problem.
You do not have to tell a story to attend, there are also tickets for people to listen. You will learn as much from listening to other tellers, as from telling.
