Storytelling Foundations Classes: Wednesdays - Oct 28 - Nov 18

Find your story. Shape your voice. Build your skills.

We all have stories to tell—sometimes we just need help finding them. In this class you’ll learn how to shape a personal story that holds attention and builds momentum, find what's at the heart of your story, and bring it to life!

Each class builds on the last, giving you the tools, practice, and feedback to shape a story that’s both personal and powerful. You’ll explore your voice, build new skills, and walk away with a story you’re proud to keep working on.

How it Works

You’ll meet once a week for two hours, in a small, supportive group. Each session combines real-time coaching, guided exercises, and space to share work-in-progress. By the end of the course, you’ll walk away with:

• A draft of a personal story
• Core storytelling tools you can apply anywhere
• A clearer understanding of how your experiences connect and land
• Trust, feedback, and energy from a like-minded creative community
  

What to Expect

• No performance required.
• Live coaching and feedback—not just videos.
• Small, supportive cohorts for trust and real connection.
• Less expensive than most one-day workshops—with way more value.
• The best way to prepare for our Performance Lab or any stage.
