Storytelling Workshop with Jon Bennett

Storytelling Workshop with Jon Bennett Looking for a workshop that’s more fun than sitting through a lecture and more entertaining than a self-help book?

Break down stories in a way that’s insightful and hilarious ? Learn how to structure a story so it keeps people hooked ? Experiment with performance techniques to make your stories unforgettable ? Share, collaborate, and workshop ideas in a supportive and laughter-filled space With over 17 years touring internationally at more than 155 festivals, Jon has taken the stage everywhere from comedy clubs to The Moth Main Stage. His stories have aired on NPR, PBS, and top podcasts around the globe. He’s also contributed to two New York Times bestselling books (Occasional Magic and How to Tell a Story).

Expect laughs, surprises, and maybe even a little magic. What to bring: A laptop or pen and paper, plus (if you’d like) a short story idea you want to develop.
