LORE is excited to feature story coach and Lore Owner, Te'Jal Cartwright who will be hosting this virtual storytelling class. For 4 Monday evenings in June 2025(June 10th, 17th, 24th, and July 1st), a group of participants will work with Te'Jal to develop a personal, first-person, story for the stage. Then on Wednesday, July 11th, you and the other brand new storytellers will share your stories in front of a live audience!
At the first class, you will receive a LORE Workbook with homework exercises to guide you through the process between classes. Each week, you will share a version of your story, learning how to craft and perform it, so that by the 4th week, you are ready for the stage! Here is what you can expect:
Week 1: Learn about the story arc and components and share your story with a partner.
Week 2: Share the next version of your story, based on the homework, with the entire group and receive valuable feedback from the story coach.
Week 3: Learn about performance and tools and techniques for sharing an oral story on stage. Share the next version of your story.
Week 4: Perform the final version of your story, using the tools and techniques learned in previous classes. Get finishing touch feedback to prepare you for the graduation event.
