Subject: Surrey Storytelling Events to End July 2010

1. Storytelling events in Surrey

Waxing Lyrical  Ewell - Adult Storytelling Practice and Coaching Group

Waxing Lyrical -  Farnham Maltings - Adult Storytelling Practice and Coaching Group

These sessions enable those new to storytelling to try exercises in storytelling, and to get some coaching on how they tell stories.  It is a more informal setting than the storytelling circle. They also provide more experienced storytellers with the opportunity to get feedback on stories they are working upon. You do not need to have a story to tell as you will benefit from taking part in the different activities of the evening.
