$Level 2 Storytelling Workshop \u2013 Deepening Your Story Craft$

Already completed Level 1? Ready to take your storytelling to the next level?
This advanced, 2-day workshop is designed for storytellers who want to refine and elevate their craft, deepening emotional impact, exploring subtlety, and mastering the art of resonance.
Across two immersive days, you’ll work with your own stories to:
✨ Strengthen your emotional arc: build tension and release for greater impact
🤫 Explore subtext and silence: say more by saying less
🎯 Craft powerful hooks and payoffs: open and close your stories with purpose
🕊️ Weave in symbolism and imagery: add depth and emotional texture.
Through guided exercises, feedback, and performance practice, you’ll learn to make deliberate artistic choices that move your audience on a deeper level.
Whether you tell stories on stage, in the classroom, or in everyday life, this workshop will help you find the emotional heartbeat of your storytelling voice.
Who it’s for: Participants who have completed Level 1 or have prior storytelling experience.
Duration: 2 days
Language: English

To get the most out of the workshop, I strongly recommend participants attend both sessions.
On the last day, there will be a chance for everyone to tell their own story in front of the group, if they feel comfortable.
What is storytelling?
Storytelling is the social and cultural activity of sharing stories, sometimes with improvisation, theatrics, or embellishment. Every culture has its own stories or narratives, which are shared as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation or instilling moral values. If you're new to storytelling, I recommend checking out Mike Birbiglia and The Moth Hour on Youtube to understand our definition of live storytelling.
What is storytelling not?
For this workshop, we will not be reading written texts aloud although the workshop does involve writing.
Storytelling in this workshop is not a kind of therapy, although we will be examining our personal narratives to extract authentic stories for sharing.
What should I bring with me?
Please bring a notebook, pen, and a personal story that you want to develop further.
There will also be plenty of games and group work, so it is essential that participants can attend both sessions.

Included in the participation fee is tea and coffee. You may also bring your own food and there will be refreshment breaks over the three days.
Because of space limitations, advance registration is compulsory.
