Fall and Winter Workshops

You can register for yourself or get one as a gift for that person in your life that you just know has great stories!
At this time, all workshops are virtual. If you are local to Northern Virginia and would like to join in-person, we may be able to work that out.

Spotlight on You –

PLEASE NOTE: Workshops are on Zoom. We are in the EASTERN TIME ZONE and times listed about reflect that.

Class sizes are limited to no more than 8 registrants so that each attendee will have time to share a story and receive critical feedback. Because the workshops will be over Zoom, participants can also record their own stories and feedback and save the recording for future reference.

Register for a virtual storytelling workshop below.

After registering, you will receive a receipt. Login information and details for the class will be sent approximately 3 days prior. If you have questions in the meantime, or don’t see the email, please contact stories@bettersaidthandone.com

Spotlight on You

A 3-4 hour workshop which includes lessons about storytelling structure, character development and other techniques for creating dramatic, engaging and true, personal stories. Class size is limited so all students will be given the opportunity to share a story and receive critical feedback.

Your Story, Your Life

5 two hour classes, over five weeks, to help you develop secondary characters, dialogue, non-linear structure, enhanced performance skills, and stories of varying lengths to be performed on stage. Students will be able to workshop and hone at least one, and possibly several, stories over the course of 5 weeks.

We will host another of our popular 5 week course starting in 2024. As it runs multiple weeks, it’s harder to schedule. We will likely start it after the Women’s Storytelling Festival weekend concludes – so late March/early April. If you are interested in the 5 week course, please contact stories@bettersaidthandone.com with your preference for night of the week and time range and we will keep that in mind when scheduling.
