In 2019, I did a series of blog post highlighting story telling workshops in the DC, MD, VA area. If you are person from beginner to a storytelling vet, taking a class or workshop is a great way to get feedback or work through tough spots in stories. I’ve been telling stories for about 5 year. I have taken 3 workshops with Better Said Than Done and The Stoop Storytelling series. Every time I’ve come away with great stories to use later.

With the quarantine happing, a number of storytellers and story organizations have moved classes and workshops online. Currently, I am taking on through Armed Services Arts Performance (ASAP). It’s being taught by instructors from Story District, who also teach classes online outside of the military community. The people and workshops that I know of are below, but I bet there are many, more. I see individuals posting in the storytelling groups, so be sure to check them out. Be on the lookout for me to add an extra page to my blog just for virtual storytelling workshops and classes. Until then, take a class and work on your stories!

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
