Storytelling in a Flash
Come with an open mind and leave class with a polished autobiographical story. The first three classes will feature fun exercises to derive all the life experience that already lies within you. From that hilarious material comes the final piece. The last class focuses on polishing and perfecting your story, which can stand alone or be a part of a larger work. Many students go on to produce one-person shows, perform on the storytelling circuit, or complete their memoir.
