Workshop 2: Understanding Steiner’s Indications for Creative Speech and Storytelling: An Interactive Workshop
with Debbie Spitulnik
Tuesday, October 8th at 7pm ET / 4pm PT
Storytelling is the cornerstone of education, and of life. *Creative Speech is the foundation to bringing stories to life. How we form sounds, use our imagination, move and breathe all affect the way we speak and listen. In this interactive workshop participants will have the opportunity to experience how to unfold the imagination and to enliven the tale.
*Creative Speech is a conscious use of imagination, language, breath and movement to enhance your speech and thus improve your capacity and effectiveness in teaching, conversation, storytelling, public speaking, drama, poetry, and writing.
