Putting the Spotlight on You

Better Said Than Done Launches Storytelling Classes in Northern Virginia

Better Said Than Done, Northern Virginia’s premier storytelling troupe, is launching a series of storytelling workshops and classes for anyone who wants to learn how to tell a story that their audience will love to hear or learn how to enhance their storytelling performances. The first workshop, “Spotlight on You,” will be held on October 13, 2012, 11 AM to 4:30 PM, at Epicure Cafe, 11213 Lee Highway, Fairfax, Virginia. The fee for the workshop is $75 per person and advance registration is required. To register or for more information, go to Classes.

In the first Better Said Than Done storytelling workshop, “Spotlight on You,” instructors Jennifer Luu and Adam Ruben, both long-time storytelling professionals, will introduce students to the art of storytelling and the techniques involved in crafting and performing a good story. Students will learn story structure, character building, and how to win the audience over, analyze examples of good and bad stories, and workshop their own story ideas, with the goal of leaving with a story to tell. This class is for adults who may be interested in getting up on stage as well as those who would just like to be the life of the party.

Better Said Than Done will also be offering the following workshops and classes:

• Your Business Story: Crafting your company tale
• Storytelling Show Stopper: A four-week course on advanced storytelling techniques
• Make ’em Laugh: Adding humor to storytelling
• Make ’em Cry: Bringing emotion to your story
• Say Yes to the Story: Improv to enhance storytelling
