A 3 session workshop about crafting stories from your life - whether it be a single incident or telling the story of your life, and striking a chord with your listeners!

Dates of the sessions: 21 September/ 5 October/ 12 October (all Saturdays)

Time: 10am - 1pm

Cost: 30 GBP for 3 sessions/ 10 GBP for each session

Biographical storytelling is about how does one find that kernel in one’s own or someone else’s life-story that has a universal resonance; and TELL it in a way that the moment or the journey of one person’s life becomes universally resonant. You could tell it across a dining table or at Edinburgh Fringe - that depends on who you are and what your style of speaking and being in the world is.

Biographical storytelling is the kernel from which biographical writing, stand up and theatre emerge. It is the fundamental of human communication. Many of the exercises that I work with are one’s that I use in training within organisations, corporate structures and oral history trainings to enable people to create interesting presentations, improve their public speaking skills and become sensitive to one’s own and other people’s stories.

If this sounds interesting to you, do consider attending my 3-session workshop on biographical storytelling. We work in a relaxed but confidential space, where in you choose the stories you want to work with - they could be from your life or from lives of those who are no longer with us.
