Workshop with Kevin Kling. Stories of Trauma and Healing Into every life a little rain must fall, but sometimes it feels like we've been hit by a monsoon! How do we cope? In this workshop, Kevin will show us how stories help us deal with the ups and downs and how we can grow from it — even learn to laugh about it! When you're on thin ice you might as well dance. Kevin didn't say this, but he has certainly lived it. Fears often guide our lives… perhaps stories can help us find the courage to reach higher and to live larger. Not included in Festival Pass or 6-Pack. |

Workshop with Bill Harley. Finding Your Own Style (For Storytellers with Some Experience) All accomplished storytellers have spent a great amount of time and work developing their own style or finding their own voice, which sets them apart from other tellers and performers. It is the most difficult and rewarding part of being a good storyteller. In this workshop, we’ll take a look at what steps you can take to develop a personal style, once you know how to just “tell a story”. With some simple exercises and much food for thought — this workshop is for storytellers with some experience. Not included in Festival Pass or 6-Pack. |
