Storytelling Workshop

Learn the basics of good live, oral, performative storytelling with local expert storyteller Elizabeth Lord. Learn how to shape a personal experience or memory into a compelling oral narrative and recall all its details without memorization. Learn what works when telling to an audience and what doesn't.

Using traditional folktales and personal tales we will explore the art of storytelling. Each participant will come away with a tale to tell, whether for friends and family or on the stage at the next StoryOly event. The Olympia Timberland Library will be hosting a StoryOly event on Thursday, May 9th at 6:30 pm, and the theme will be 'Surprises'!

For ages 13 and up. Registration is required and space is limited. Register at: tinyurl.com/storyoly
