Storytelling For Everyone: A Four Week Course in Personal Narrative (ONLINE CLASS - Thursdays in September)
In light of the current pandemic, this course will now be offered online.

The content will be the same except for a few exercises for which I have found replacements.

We will meet via Zoom, which is free and easy to set up on your phone, tablet, or computer. I am happy to help you with this.

Please email me at swhitehair@gmail.com with any questions.


Personal narrative has exploded over the last several years, with showcases, slams, and podcasts surfacing daily. People from all walks of life are taking the stage to share their own stories in front of packed houses across Chicago and the U.S.

In business, solid storytelling is a crucial component in communicating with colleagues, clients, interviewers, and potential donors.

And who doesn't want to be able to share memorable stories over dinner or drinks with friends and family?

Hundreds of people have benefited from this acclaimed course, which has sold out almost every month for the past eight years and is the longest running monthly storytelling course in Chicago.
       
----------------------------------------

This class is open to all experience levels, and everyone from the beginner to the seasoned storyteller will benefit from the work-on-your-feet approach to discovering and developing your own unique voice.  

We will cover everything from story generation and structure to the fine details of delivery. Each class session will also feature a lab component where participants can workshop stories, try out tools and techniques, and receive detailed feedback. Participants do not need to bring in previously constructed stories in order to get the full experience. Writers are welcome, but you don't have to put a single word on the page in order to tell an excellent story.      


Class will culminate in an optional student performance at a local venue or online, date and time to be determined.  

Class size will be kept to 8 to insure that participants receive maximum individual attention and screen time.

Thursday, September 10th,   6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Thursday, September 17th,   6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Thursday, September 24th,   6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Thursday, October 1st,           6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
