Story Time: A Performed Essay Workshop (1 DAY)
Writing Pad West
Los Angeles, CA
Share this event:


Performance essays are all the rage. In this one-day class, Moth presenter and master storyteller Brian Finkelstein will teach you how to be a storytelling pro. You'll do fun, improvised storytelling drills, learn about the structure and genres of performance essays, and explore ways to use your essays to boost your writing career. Brian will show you how to transform relationships gone bad, family feuds, adventures, and life's minutia into a mix of vulnerability and comedic vavoom. He'll even teach you how to expose your narrator's flaws while also persuading the audience to root for you. By the end of the class, you'll have started an essay you can submit storytelling shows in LA like Taboo Tales and Sit n Spin.

Instructor: Brian Finkelstein
