Location: Writers Workshop
Tutor: Carmel Page
Practice, practice, practice is how you learn to tell stories. It also helps to get some feedback and advice.
In this session, six people will have the opportunity to take the stage 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, not creative writing, but if anyone wishes to use notes that is not a problem.
You do not have to tell a story to attend, there are four tickets for people to come and listen. You will learn as much from listening to other tellers as from telling.
