Storytelling for Public Speaking Sessions
Would you like to feel comfortable speaking to a crowd?
Do you want to speak fluently without a script?
How would it feel to know that you’re really connecting with your audience?
Join Polly Tisdall, award-winning performance storyteller and theatre director, for two days of practical and playful training exploring Storytelling for Public Speaking at Windmill Hill City Farm. Whether you’re working on a tricky presentation, looking to pitch a business idea or just want to feel more relaxed telling a tale down the pub, this is the safe rehearsal space you’ve never had and always wanted.
We’ll explore:
- Your natural storytelling tools and how to use them.
- Ancient story structures and why they work.
- How to make use of story and archetypes in your own content.
- Techniques for relaxing the body and the voice.
- Tools for memorising material and staying flexible.
- How to tune into your audience and connect them with your message.
- Finding your power on stage as a solo speaker.
Working indoors in the Farm’s dedicated Training Room and (weather permitting) outdoors in The Garden Theatre, we’ll ground ourselves in the peaceful green of the farm site, conquer our fears and enthrall our listeners.
The weekend is practical, relaxed and lots of fun, with a focus on you and your objectives. Unlike reading a book on public speaking or listening to a lecture, this is a space for you to experience speaking to a group and to play with that experience. You’ll be encouraged to recognise your strengths as a speaker and to build on those strengths on your feet, with a supportive audience and expert direction.
