Chutzpahdik, Out Loud! – A Storytelling Workshop for 18-36 year-olds
Storytelling is at the heart of the human experience, and a key part of Jewish culture. But storytelling is also an art & a skill that can be developed. Do you have a story you’d like to share with others, but feel you lack the chutzpah* to go for it?
Join talented & creative innovator Dalit Kaplan for a chutzpahdik short-course on storytelling- how to do it & do it well. Over two sessions, Dalit will lead a journey of story development, deep listening, artful presenting & public speaking. The course will include: a day-long workshop to develop voice, skills & stories, and a second session to refine & receive feedback. Be inspired by the boldness of great artists, authors & creatives, and learn to share your stories out loud!
No previous knowledge is needed, all are welcome to participate.
*chutzpah: Yiddish, extreme self-confidence or audacity.
