Workshops

I started running workshops in 1999. I've designed and taught workshops in improvisation, stagecraft, public speaking, pitching, leadership and communication skills, and a range of entrepreneurship topics.

Workshop: Improv for Creative Writing

When I picked up the fiction-writing pen again recently a lot of my theatrical/comedy improvisation training came into play. Improv approaches helped me discover voice, character, details, plot points, dialogue etc.In this interactive workshop, creative writers learn through activities and exercises -- out loud and on the page. We will cover an introduction to improvisation and improv concepts such as heightening, beats, and layering.You will leave the workshop knowing how to find a story's unique voice, how to trust and inspire yourself, and how to keep an audience engaged.
