Telling a True Story: Live Storytelling Workshop w/ “The Moth” Storyteller

A personal story that holds a room has to be built. This hands-on workshop at Bookstore1Sarasota is led by a storyteller from The Moth, the New York nonprofit whose live shows, podcast and Peabody-winning radio hour made the short true story told without notes a form of its own. The work centers on shaping a lived moment into a story with an arc, real stakes and a distinct voice, under the Moth's ground rules: true, first person, no script. The atmosphere is supportive, and sharing with the group is optional. The downtown independent bookstore has hosted the workshop before.
