InterPlay co-founder and "big body" storyteller Phil Porter will work closely with six participants on storytelling skills. Each one will receive direct attention, support and coaching to increase range, find new ways of telling stories and just experience the delight of having one's own story.
Gain new comfort with creating stories on the spot with the full range of movement, words, sound and song, which is possible with the easy, incremental techniques of InterPlay.
Any level of experience and ability is invited. All you need is the willingness to play and explore. The small group will also allow us all to hear from each other and create new connections. Expect laughter and delight as well as new insight and new possibilities.
The ability to improvise stories is also a helpful skill to develop confidence in many different areas of one's life.
