In this workshop, we learn the common elements that keep the audience on the edge of their seat. We look at examples of each one and see how they combine to create a powerful audience experience. Then we do a discovery exercise to uncover moments in people's lives that can include these essential elements. Storytelling is about using our voice to create vivid images in the mind of the audience. We look at techniques designed to do just that, and help the audience 'step into' our stories. Techniques include use of past and present tense, using descriptive language, sound effects and dialogue. For more info, visit: sparkinstitute.eu
