Storytelling Workshop is Filling Quickly

Whether you hope to captivate your family and friends or wow a much larger audience, attending a storytelling workshop offered by the Upper Wabash Interpretive Service can help boost your ability to spin a yarn.

The storytelling workshop is Jan. 29, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., at the Salamonie Interpretive Center, near Wabash.

Storyteller Doyne Carson will instruct us in the basics of telling a story and captivating an audience. The event begins with Ms. Carson demonstrating storytelling tools such as pacing, pitch and pause and even using story maps.

A light lunch is included. Workshop fee is $15 per person.

Michael Mycroft, State of Indiana Resource Management Coordinator, IDNR, and past Interpretive Naturalist, stated, “I once performed Native American flute on a public radio station. I'm not much for storytelling, but Doyne performed before I went on and it was literally mesmerizing. She's simply amazing!”

In the afternoon, participants have the option of presenting a short sample of their storytelling to gain some helpful tips.
