The Beyond Storytelling 101 courses were originally designed by Professional Member Verena Tay and targeted at our Associate Members and those at an Intermediate Level in their storytelling craft.
The aim of these Beyond Storytelling 101 sessions was to train and prepare participants for public performance storytelling.
Some of the past participants of Beyond Storytelling 101 courses have formed the self-help group Story Lab with the aim of continuing their training in storytelling for public performance.
