Every good storyteller is a good storylistener beforehand.
And, not all storylisteners become storytellers. In the same way, a good storyteller is not necessarily a good teacher of storytelling. Teaching the art and craft of storytelling requires the cultivation of specific skills beyond the performance skills of the teller. This seminar is designed to help the teller explore their teaching skils, to deepen them, and to enter into new areas of personal growth. Of course, thiese experiences will also make them better tellers.
