Workshops & Training

“I run storytelling workshops for beginners and experienced tellers alike, for individuals, charities and businesses.”

Workshops

These workshops explore different aspects of story, and develop storytelling skills and confidence.

They are designed for learning at your own pace, and sharing in a friendly and informal atmosphere. I’ve used my own experience in storytelling to develop activities which are useful, practical, thought-provoking and fun.

For details of upcoming workshops, please see the Calendar. If you can’t see the workshop you would like, and would like to host a workshop for a group, please contact me.

I design and run bespoke workshops for organisations who would like to empower their staff with storytelling skills. I have worked with charities and businesses to help staff and specialists to tap into their own inner storyteller, and explain their work in a compelling and engaging way.
Please contact me for options and prices.
A one-day workshop all about starting to tell stories. This day is for beginners to storytelling, or those with little experience.
We will work with one of the Grimm’s stories (a wonder tale) to look at story structure, character, and idiosyncrasy; walk the story, considering environment and audience; and work with techniques for remembering story and gaining confidence. By the end of the day, you will have had the opportunity to tell at least one story that you can take away and make your own.
A one-day workshop for environmental education professionals. Learn how to work science and imagination together to create compelling, realistic environmental stories. Strengthen your storytelling skills and learn new games, tips and tricks for storytelling in the natural environment. This workshop will be held in the heart of Dartmoor, with outdoor and wet weather options for storytelling activities.
