November’s crash course in storytelling was as ever an inspiration. By the end of the day everyone, regardless of previous experience, shared a story they had never heard or read before. And every single one of these storytellers demonstrated the techniques learnt over the day effectively, whilst also demonstrating their own individual styles and approaches to telling a tale. See below for some of the wonderful feedback received about the day.

And if you are interested in exploring your inner storyteller, I have more courses lined up for next year in London. My next one day crash course will be at the beginning of March, and I am planning an advanced two day course to take place during the Easter school holidays. I am just waiting on conformation from the venue. If you would like to register your interest or be first to know once the dates are confirmed please contact me.

I have learnt so much from this one day workshop with Gemma. It was fun, interactive and challenging and I now feel so much more confident about telling stories. I feel one step closer to becoming a professional speaker. I can’t wait for her advanced course next year.

Gemma put us at our ease from the very beginning. Her quiet confident manner was very supportive and encouraged everyone’s individual creativity. She gave us layer on layer of techniques- pace, sounds and movement, but never straying from actual storytelling. She showed us how to make the story our own. It was an excellent day and I would recommended Gemma for anyone who wants to either learn new skills or develop further as a storyteller.

I would recommend this course to everyone! It was one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had in a long time. Although many of us were new to storytelling, with Gemma’s guidance we became animated, confident and expressive.

It was incredible how much was learnt in a short space of time. Excellent teaching and content as well as attention to detail of the individual specific needs and really valuable constructive feedback.

I found the whole experience captivating. The content, the people I met and Gemma herself. I would do the course again in an instant!
