Transformational Storytelling provides us with a creative path to connect with wider audiences through meaningful entertainment. This is especially true for dramatic comedies (sometimes diminished by the term “dramedies”) where humor is skillfully woven into profound family drama. These are transformational, relevant stories with heartfelt humorous moments like: Little Miss Sunshine, Almost Famous, The Intouchables, Erin Brockovich, Billy Elliott, This is Us, Toni Erdmann, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Orange is the New Black, Coco, and The Big Sick.In this two-day seminar, you will gain storytelling strategies that immediately apply to your projects, and learn how this feminine-based approach to storytelling connects you to your audience in the most powerful way – emotionally. LEARN HOW:

– Transformational stories function in 7 basic ways- Universal themes connect you emotionally to your audience via relationship arcs- Life-affirming stories with social impact reach wider international audiences- To capture the creative core of your stories in the new “Storytellers Playbook”

Join us and have the opportunity to network with industry professionals during and after the workshop.
