June FGS ONLINE Storytelling Workshop

Learn to craft a story you can feel proud telling in front of an audience!

Gain confidence publicly telling stories by practicing in a low-pressure environment!

Meet other dynamic interesting people who enjoy sharing about real, meaningful experiences in their lives!

A diverse group of people attend with all levels of storytelling experience.

Beginners are welcome!

During the workshop we focus on developing personal narrative stories that are true, about you and revolve around a transformative moment where you changed. The workshop is an opportunity to explore important moments in your life and get assistance turning what you experienced into a compelling story that you can share with others.

This is a workshop and not a performance! You can share anything ranging from an idea, to a rough draft, to a first attempt at telling, to a polished performance. The vibe is friendly and low pressure. Unlike most live performance venues, you can use any support materials you desire such as notes or outlines.

During the workshop you will do two simple things:
• Tell a true story from your life or share about a potential story-worthy moment for up to 8 minutes, then listen to feedback from your friendly fellow storytellers.
• Listen to others tell their stories/moments, then briefly give them your personal feedback.

Plan on having a great time listening to and telling stories with other motivated storytellers and learning the craft of storytelling.

You must RSVP to get the meeting login.

To enhance the friendly feeling of the meeting, please be prepared to maintain a video connection and login on time. Once the first storyteller begins, usually around 1:10, new arrivals will not be admitted.

This workshop is free and is aligned with the Fresh Ground Stories Storytelling Meetup Group with the mission to help people develop and practice telling personal narrative stories.
