Level 3: Telling Stories
Stories and storytelling are a fundamental part of the human experience. We shape the world around us into narratives that we can understand, forming deep emotional connections to the tales that resonate with us. A keen improviser can play on this narrative instinct to craft engaging stories on the fly and leave a delighted audience asking ‘How did they do that!?’
This seven-week course combines techniques inspired by legendary improviser Keith Johnstone and Pixar Animation Studios to equip students with a formidable toolkit of storytelling techniques and skills. From confidence and communication skills to knowing how to make bold choices to keep the story alive (or deliver a surprising twist ending), you’ll train the narrative instincts that will grab and sustain your audience’s interest.
This course consists of 7 sessions that last for 2.5 hours each, and will be taught by one our experienced facilitators. Places are capped at 12. Like all our Performing Improv courses, the 7th week includes a showcase performance to a supportive audience of friends, family, and fellow students.
