Eli Hans & Joseph Bennett
The art of storytelling comes from a deeply connected and intuitive place inside each of us.
Yet, thankfully, there are elements that can be learned, explored and honed in order to craft truly compelling, engaging and entertaining stories to be shared with an audience.
We will take a look at the STRUCTURE of your story, to make sure you have a strong HOOK to engage your audience from the get go, and a wonderful BUTTON to wrap things up beautifully at the end.
​
And, of course, everything else in between!
Through engaging improv games and invaluable feedback, this delightful Playshop led by award-winning playwright and performer Eli Hans and improv actor/performer Joseph Bennett, will help:
-
make your story stand out by captivating your audience.
-
feel natural and authentic as you tell your story with an open heart.
​
-
practice your story with a mic so you come across as uber-confident!
ALL in a FUN and very supportive environment.
​
Please read all of the information on this page, then SIGN UP BELOW.
THANK YOU!
