Cuéntame Presents: Somatic Storytelling with Marko Ayling
Improve your storytelling techniques, presentation skills, and overall confidence with this 3-part public speaking masterclass from Marko Ayling, the founder of Mexico City's original storytelling open mic - Cuéntame - and the award-winning YouTube travel show, Vagabrothers.
This June, Marko will teach a 3-part workshop to a small group of students to help them improve their storytelling by identifying the key moments of their story, increasing the emotional stakes, and delivering with confidence.
Marko uses somatic writing practices to help you connect your words and body to craft powerful narratives that capture the attention of a crowd.
This is a 3-part workshop for all levels and the techniques practiced here will be applicable to all forms of public speaking — from business presentations to wedding speeches and overall confidence on your feet. But for regular attendees of Cuentame, you can also bring in a story specific to next month's theme - "Missed Connections."
The class will be divided into three workshops:
1) DISCOVERY - Mine your life experiences for story ideas, learn to distinguish between narratives and anecdotes, and pick one story to develop further in the coming classes.
2) DEVELOPMENT - Perform your story in class and receive feedback from Marko on how to structure the action, raise the stakes, and sharpen the pacing.
3) DELIVERY - Perfect your story by focusing on body language, non-verbal communication, timing, and elocution. Leave class with a final set of notes before the big show on Friday July 7th.
Space is limited. Scholarships are available if needed. Email Marko at Marko@MarkoAyling.com for more information.
