The Language of Storytelling
This interactive workshop is designed to help you listen for story like a linguist. Come with at least one story idea, but we will begin at the very beginning: doing some free-association writing activities to uncover stories even you have forgotten. Now, having a few stories to play with, you will choose one to work on for the day. Drawing from linguistic insight into imagery, style, and positioning, we will take this story and make it more memorable through a structured process of listening and writing to find and develop your unique point of view as a storyteller.
You will leave with more stories than you came with and a plan for editing and revising more!
