Everyone has a story to tell—but finding the right words and the confidence to share them takes practice. In this lively and supportive two-day workshop, Corey Rosen—host of “The Moth” and author of  Your Story, Well Told—will guide you through the fundamentals of crafting and performing true stories that capture attention and leave a lasting impression.

Through fun, interactive exercises, you’ll learn how to brainstorm story ideas, shape them into compelling narratives, and deliver them with authenticity and spontaneity. Whether you’re new to live storytelling or looking to sharpen your skills, this workshop offers a safe space to explore your voice, get feedback, and build your confidence as a storyteller. By the end of our time together, you’ll leave with new material, new connections, and a renewed sense of what your stories can do.

Who This Course is For

This workshop is perfect for anyone curious about live storytelling, whether you’re exploring new creative outlets, prepping for a performance or simply want to become a more engaging communicator. No prior storytelling experience is necessary—just a willingness to share and experiment. If you’ve got stories to tell (and everyone does), this course will help you shape them with clarity and confidence.
