About this Event

Storytelling Performance Lab


Turn your life into stories that captivate. In six weeks, the Storytelling Performance Lab helps you uncover your best material, craft a compelling narrative, and perform with confidence at a public showcase. One story. Big impact. Skills for a lifetime of storytelling.

*This intermediate-level course is for people who have completed Story District's Storytelling 101, Storytelling Foundations, or other introductory course.


Participants arrive with three story ideas and, over six classes, will:

  • Quickly review storytelling fundamentals
  • Source new story seeds from your life experiences
  • Build a compelling narrative with strong structure and emotional impact
  • Refine and polish your story with coach and peer support
  • Develop and practice your performance to command the stage
  • Rehearse and receive feedback in a supportive, collaborative environment
  • Present their story in a final public showcase

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your storytelling craft, prepare for live performance, or share your story with an audience, the Performance Lab provides the tools, guidance, and stage to bring your story to life.
