Storytelling:
Connie Regan-Blake
brings humor, wisdom and the
heart of story to diverse settings around the globe; school cafeterias,
impoverished African villages, festival stages and corporate boardrooms.
She is a storyteller who listens - finding the universal threads of stories in a
shared humanity. For Connie, storytelling is more than a profession, more
than art. It is a way of being in the world. Connie’s approach is practical and
hands-on, drawing on intuition, humor and the five senses.
As a teacher, she
creates a community of appreciation,
welcoming deep listening and
telling in an encouraging, compassionate, creative and playful atmosphere.
During this 5 day Institute you will:
*Discover how to work with delight and integrity in
service of story, both on stage and in the business of storytelling.
*Explore the living, breathing interaction between
teller and listener.
*Practice being in the present moment, embodying
the story for authentic, vibrant, and inspired storytelling.
Bring a questing mind and an open heart.
