Whether sharing a tale for children or for adults, for fun or for work, the essential skills for storytelling are the same. This series of workshops will give you access to the techniques utilised by KLSP, as well as providing advice on how to apply them to your situation.
Overall Objective of the 8 classes: For all participants to be able to present their own selected story to the group in a style fitting their chosen area of application.

Since 2008, Johnny has worked in almost 40 different countries, where he has used his Story Practice to enable actors, comedians, film-makers, teachers, lecturers, museum guides, trainers, managers, and community leaders to harness the power of storytelling.
In 2011, he was invited by The History Press (UK) to write two volumes for their collection of books covering the folk tales and folklore of Great Britain.
