Page to Stage 201: Introduction to Longfrom Storytelling
Perhaps you love the Moth, or Risk, or This American Life or any of the hundreds of storytelling podcasts out there. Perhaps you’ve read every David Sedaris book in the library and captivated by tales that speak to the quirkiness of humanity. Perhaps you’ve seen a dozen solo shows and thought, “Goddamnit, I’d love to do that!” This is the class where YOU do THAT.
Each class, you’ll bring in a story you’ve been working on, and together, we’ll explore the richness of your work for story threads to expand upon. We’ll peel back layers to find the hidden complexity and nuance. We’ll use your strengths and unique abilities to tell the story in a way only you could tell it. Finally, we’ll get your story show-ready for a class showcase.
