Workshops
SAS believes in learning and developing our storytelling skills.
In the initial years of SAS, Professional Members used to conduct public storytelling-related workshops and courses in collaboration with the SAS or under the auspices of the SAS. These were basic storytelling workshops for the beginner storyteller. Gradually as the ancient artform gains popularity, the members of our association matures.
The association now focuses on specialized workshops to develop our members in niche areas. The basic storytelling courses by some of our Professional members are still available but by private arrangements.
The Storyteller learns from trying new things.
The Storyteller learns from other Artistes.
