Oh my god, just the best storytelling course with the best teacher. Bryan Kett's (our teacher) mastery gave me a glimpse of what it would be like to practice and practice at the craft for years -- and now more than ever, it's a future I'm inspired to claim for myself.

I wish the class had more of a structure, an agenda. The on the spot practicing was great, but a bit more lecture or notes on storytelling would be great. We didn't spend that much time discussing what makes a great story besides the very obvious, such as a beginning, middle, and end.

Thanks to our instructors, we learned a lot about ourselves and how to tell our story. The workshop is a great opportunity to get up there and tell stories, well within your comfort zone, but within an environment that encourages you to push yourself just a little bit. Without such terrific instructors, the class wouldn't have been as remarkable as it was.

Gail was absolutely phenomenal!
I came to the class feeling so unprepared and uncomfortable and shy. Gail provided the exact feedback I needed. The things she said really improved my story and my understanding of the format. That advice made me a whole lot better at telling a story and even freestyling one at the end!
The class was a perfect size of 8. Any bigger and time would be a big issue.
I also got this class as a present for my husband and mom and they loved it! They both improved so much and were so excited and confident!
I definitely recommend this class!

Pros: You can tell that the instructor is a very experienced storyteller and teacher. He provided excellent feedback and effectively delivered the class considering the limited amount of time. Definitely a huge opportunity to learn from him.
Cons: While this is overall a great storytelling class, it's necessarily applicable in business presentation or product pitch scenarios. Additionally, it was not the most comfortable facility.

Great class and a very good teacher (Brad). As described it is a condensed version of a longer class, that feels enough to provide structure that one can begin to practise in their storytelling. This class assured me I am interested in the longer class to be able to practice performance and receive more feedback about structure of my stories! Thank you!

Beowulf is excellent. I would have liked more time learning about the 5 beats of a story and less time listening to everyone's elevator pitches.
I learned a lot and probably the 6 week class might have given me these opportunities
Thank you
