ADVANCED STORYTELLING BOOTCAMP

Pre-requisite: Completion of Storytelling 201 or 101 by permission

In this four- week workshop, students will use their storytelling fundamentals to build their repertoire of stories. With fun and unique weekly writing assignments, instructor Margot Leitman, will work with each student to build a solid body of work to aid in their path to becoming live performers. It is essential for a storyteller to have a diverse range of stories in order to fit various themes and get booked on more shows.

Each week students will have a different writing assignment to present in front of the class. This is the place for students who are ready to perform, or already performing and want to get better. Students will workshop material weekly in front of the group. Each student should leave this class with four stories to take to live shows.

If you interested in taking this course please send an EMAIL to classes@ucbcomedy.com with "Storytelling Special Request - class 4826" as the subject. Please do not register/pay for this course without consent of the Training Center Registrar.
