Every story begins with a call.
The hero departs the ordinary world and steps toward discovery.
Storytelling is a ritual art. We take a journey together and return to the ordinary world changed.
Your story has weight. It shapes how you see yourself and how others see you. But with the right tools, you can reclaim that narrative.
Offerings
Workshops
Interactive, small-group sessions that blend story structure, performance skills, and personal reflection to reshape story, refine delivery, and build confidence in your voice.
Performance
Curated performances that bring stories to life based on two decades performing stories shaped by folkloric research and lived experience.
Lectures
Collaboratively-designed lectures and educational sessions on folklore, narrative theory, and participatory storytelling for large groups.
Coaching
Individual coaching for creative projects to clarify voice, vision, and narrative strategy, rooted in folkloric frameworks and storytelling practices.
My Story Slant methodology combines the rigor of story structure with the freedom of performance. Whether you’re looking to build confidence, improve communication skills, or share your experience publicly, I’ll guide you toward a version of your story that empowers and connects.
Story Slant workshops are more than investigations of the inner working of story structure; they are creative and therapeutic opportunities to connect and re-create experiences.
You already are a storyteller and a hero on your great journey. Together, we build a creative tool bag to carry you through the looking glass or fairytale woods to a magical world.
