Danyah Miller is holding an online course this summer (13th–15th July — 7 hours over three evenings), called Telling Tales: An Introduction to Storytelling. There’s room for 12 participants, so everyone can be fully involved.

She'll share three foundational techniques which she's used for many years to support and strengthen her own storytelling. Together, you'll take written stories and shape them into oral tales, with your own unique voice at the centre. The course is designed to build both confidence and skill, empowering you to share rich, engaging stories with others.
No experience is needed. This workshop would be most suited to teachers, librarians, performers, parents, grandparents — and anyone who loves stories.

Proposed dates: July 13th, 14th & 15th
Time: 7.00–9.30pm (7 hours over three evenings)
Venue: Online via Zoom
Cost £37.50 per person (usually £65.00)
