Description
Join us for a series of four Storytelling events with award-winning storyteller and writer Danyah Miller.
These events, which will explore different techniques and approaches at each session, can be booked as a full series or individually depending on your interest. Each event will contain elements of interactivity with practical take-aways and Q&A. Tickets are £12 and include a hot drink on arrival.
Presentation and Communication Skills - Thursday 21 March.
'Let thy speech be better than silence or be silent' - Dionysius Of Halicarnassus
Stories are persuasive, memorable and engaging. By using story
skills in your presentation, you’ll be more able to connect deeply
with your audience, building their trust and boosting your
credibility. Danyah will share four key components she’s learnt as
a performer and trainer to ensure impactful and powerful delivery
of your message. Participants will have the opportunity to play
story games to practice skills and increase confidence. There will
be time for a Q&A at the end of the session. Most Suitable
for: people who want to improve their presentation
skills.
The Art of Spontaneous Storytelling - Thursday 18 April.
'Spontaneity is a meticulously prepared art' - Oscar Wilde
An active and healthy imagination is crucial to everyone at
every age, enabling us to think outside the box and to live to our
fullest potential. Imagination is like a muscle, and, as with every
muscle, it needs exercise. Danyah will share her first three
pillars of spontaneous storytelling – imagination, the senses and
memory. Participants will have the opportunity to play a few
spontaneous storytelling games giving them ideas to take away.
There will be time for a Q&A at the end of the session. Most
Suitable for: creative practitioners; team builders;
brain-stormers; educators; parents.
Telling Your Own Story - Thursday 16 May. '
The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else which makes you unique' - Walt Disney
Unlike the tales that we read and hear around us, our personal
stories are a way for us to share our unique life experiences with
others. By crafting these narratives we can offer them as a gift to
the world.
Danyah will share story games, methods and suggestions to help you
explore how to create a story based on your personal experience,
whether you want to use this to motivate others, understand
yourself better, reframe your history or as a springboard into a
creative project. There will be time for Q&A throughout the
session. Most Suitable for: writers; storytellers; performers;
healers; those who want to share their stories with others or
collect their family history.
Storytelling for Literacy - Thursday 20 June. '
If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fair tales' - Albert Einstein.
Sharing stories with the children is one of the most precious
gifts we can give them, creating memories that last a lifetime.
Danyah will share ideas to work with stories across the ages and
stages of development and across the curriculum. Oral storytelling
underpins and sits alongside reading and writing, strengthening
creativity and inspiring a lifelong love of stories whether in
books, comics, through music, film, TikTok or the visual arts. Oral
stories can be a powerful ally when we’re working with
neurodivergent or other children who might find reading and writing
a struggle. Most Suitable for: parents & grandparents;
educators; librarians; performers; anyone interested in creating
and sharing stories with young people.
