Storyteller par excellence…transports audiences young and old into an amazing world of imagination.”  The Oregonian

During this experiential workshop storyteller Will Hornyak will lead participants through exercises and activities to refine their skills in traditional, oral form storytelling.  Will considers the essential tools of the storyteller’s craft and how to create and shape the stories we want to tell by honing our skills.  We will employ writing prompts, break-out rooms for small group tellings, and time for discussion and consideration of useful resources and activities for the future.  Although not necessary, participants are welcome to bring a short tale or a portion of a longer story to work with.  This will be a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment open to all levels of storytelling experience.
