Introduction to Storytelling:
a workshop series with Gary Green
Join the inimitable Gary Green for a five week course on the basics of storytelling! Telling stories is a fundamental human need – we want to connect, share, and learn from one another, and our tales are a great way to do that! Whether you want to pursue this as an art form, or incorporate storytelling into other aspects of your life or career, this is a great place to start.
The course will run 5 Wednesdays, March 4 – April 1, from 7 – 9 pm.
