Become a professional storyteller

" And all of those who have written down their stories, the greatest are those whose writings differs the least from the speech of the many anonymous storytellers"

Walter Benjamin in The Storyteller

For storytellers, puppeteers, visual theater performers, writers of literature, theater or film, teachers and lecturers.

Individual frontal lessons or group workshops. Zoom is also a possibility.

At begginer ( no previous experience ) or advanced levels.

Switching from the narrator to the characters in a story—embodying a character's body, voice, emotions, intentions, desires, and actions for a few moments before quickly shifting to those of another in montage-like transitions—demands techniques from a storyteller that differ from those required of an actor who embodies only one character throughout a performance.

The exercises in this course are designed to help you draw on the knowledge already held in your own body and expand the range of gestural expression needed to embody multiple characters. Exploring and inhabiting the needs and desires of people other than yourself—learning to speak, act, and react as they do—will help you become a more expressive and versatile storyteller, puppeteer, and writer.

The training also includes an exploration of different storytelling traditions, such as Picture Storytelling in India, Indonesia, Iran, the United States, and many European countries, as well as traditions that incorporate the use of simple props, such as those of Japan and Turkey.
