ORAL STORYTELLING

With teaching artist Andrew Vonderschmitt

Tell your story, on the fly, without a script. Participants learned how to flesh out and tell stories, anecdotes, and even jokes based on personal experience using improvisation and storytelling methods. Improvisation techniques such as characterization, emotion, object work, and specificity were coupled with storytelling methods like story structure, narrative devices, character arcs, and conflict or suspense to tell intriguing and poignant tales.
