STORYTELLING: A COURSE
OF WORKSHOPS
IN PERFORMANCE
DYNAMICS AND NARRATIVE SKILLS
How do
you tell a story? How do you overcome your fears of public speaking? How do you
successfully engage an audience as a speaker, a performer or a professor? How
do you find stories? What makes a performance enthralling?
International
Storyteller Clare Muireann Murphy will be giving a series of
workshops that tackle these issues (and others that arise).
Her focus
will be:
·
Finding
Your Voice
·
Understanding
Narrative Structure
·
Developing
Presence in Public Speaking
·
Learning
Stories and How to Find Them
·
Integrating
the Voice and the Body as Single Instrument
Clare’s
work taps into the dynamic relationship between speaker and audience, and
speaker and material. She will offer play-based workshops that use theatre
techniques and games to learn narrative skills. This workshop is good for
writers, storytellers, actors, performers, artists, teachers, creatives. It is
also good for anyone working with children, in the community, in social work,
anthropology, sociology, and psychology. It also applies if you are none of
these things but have a genuine interest in learning how to tell a story.
The
workshops will take place on Wednesdays, January 23 & 30, and February 6 & 13,
1:30 - 3:30 (location to be announced).
