2-Day Storytelling Intensive in London

Sunday and Monday, May 26th and 27th, 2012

Location: Central London Location

Details:
This course builds on the foundations laid on the Narativ Sunday workshop. The methodology and techniques introduced on that day revolves around the importance of listening and the stripping back of storytelling to the simplicity of ‘What Happened’. This in itself can produce great insights for both the teller and the listener.

The Narativ Intensive takes us further by practically exploring story elements in more depth – use of detail, use of dialogue, use of juxtaposition; how a sense of place, a sense of time, use of the senses can anchor a story. We also look at story structure and introduce the performative side of storytelling more explicitly. Ultimately we work with the three elements of Connection – with your story, with your body and with your audience. What is the process of taking a memory out of the consciousness, crafting it as a story and communicating it to the listener?

Spaces are limited as we will be working with a smaller group of maximum 6 participants.

Saturday 26th May – 10.30am – 4.30pm
Sunday 27th May – 10.30am – 5.30pm

Price: £240.00

*25% DISCOUNT IF YOU BOOK BY MAY 13th (£180)

It is also possible to pay in installments. We want to make our workshops as available as possible to anyone wanting to take part. Please get in touch if you would like to take advantage of this option.

Feedback from Narativ Intensive Workshop participants in London:

“…What stands out from the Intensive for me is how much my memory was stimulated by particular exercises and how I found it really thrilling to make connections between bits of my life that I had never connected before. It made a tapestry – parts of my experience that I had thought disparate suddenly joined up. It was also fun to be so active with the storytelling – it was athletic, telling stories for two days in different ways really worked that muscle…”
