Wednesday, 29th February and 5th March, joint storytelling with the theme Change. Lewisham Speakers club toastmasters jointly organizing it with Spark London.
Joanna Yates, is a wizard, teaching storytelling in enterprises, all over UK, but also producing Spark London, so more people can tell their true tales in public.
Canal Café Theatre is one of the venues, one a month, first Monday, the public pays for to hear ! There is where we will go.
Upstairs at Ritzy, Brixton, is the second, an open mic event, every third Monday. On each places one can acquire different skills of storytelling in different environments.
The photo is Joanna, in a restaurant, a candid photography, before I told a story about "When I was 10 the war caught up with me", after wich I was invited to my first "pro" storytelling.

Collect stories, stories are "anchors" to your points.
"Will you tell me a story?"
Ever notice children never ask you to give them a power point presentation? Why? We love stories and it is the heart of presentations. "Make a point, tell a story."
Some stories may have multiple points buried in them, some more specific points.
The stories that we tell over and over with friends and family are the same ones we would be should be telling from the stage. We know these stories so well and the reason we retell them when we are together is they are good and usually humorous too. The reason we sometimes take their power for granted is because we forget that our audience members will relate emotionally to "family" stories and characters.
