The Performance Toolkit 

How to get the most out of your story?

So you have written a great story and cannot wait to perform it at the next online story event. Or maybe you are using this time to polish your skills for when things open up again. OR maybe you just want to learn a new skill. 

The Performance Toolkit is an interactive workshop where we cover the basics of quality story-telling. These simple tools will help you elevate the quality of your performance. The "what" you say is as important as the "how" you say it.  

This workshop will focus on 

• Performance energy - how to bring you A-game always 
• Riding the wave - trust in your words and they will carry you through
• Just Breath - dealing with those dreaded "nerves"
• Voice work - simple and easy tools to help create a dynamic rhythm with your words
• Conveying the essence of your story to your audience
