Class Description


Working on and refining stories are essential parts of the process to improve your skills at storytelling. In this warm and nurturing environment, students are encouraged to bring in 6 - minute stories each week to workshop and receive group feedback on. Also, if students don’t have a story idea for that particular week to workshop, a prompt will be given to assist them.
