About The Class...

Storytelling belongs to all of us. It lives in our DNA. This 7-week online storytelling class covers easy-to-master elements that enhance your natural awareness of story. Ideal for performers, public speakers, and professionals of all kinds, this class strengthens your ability to tell engaging, entertaining, moving personal stories. Using dynamic games and exercises, participants overcome performance anxiety and gain confidence in their authentic presence. Participants also develop 3 stories over the course of the workshop and receive direct, constructive feedback. Class is fun, supportive, playful, challenging, and transformative: a solid way to connect and laugh and listen during this unusual time. On the final night of class, each student will tell a true story in an online Live Storytelling show that invites friends and family from anywhere in the world!

About Janna Sobel...

In her private coaching practice, she uses storytelling and improvisation tools to help all kinds of groups create better together, and individuals to communicate better. Janna teaches Improv at The Second City Training Center, Live Storytelling at Chicago Dramatists, and Creative Leadership at The Innovation Academy at The University of Notre Dame, and for The Leadership Studio at The University of Chicago Booth School.

Janna's Teaching Philosophy...

In the words of Martha Graham: "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique... It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.” My primary interest is in helping people keep a solid relationship with their truth and inspiration. Towards this end I use theatrical, improvisational, and storytelling game forms built to foster joy, liberation, laughter and discovery. Each game allows for an increase in self-trust, support, and creative freedom. There is no lecture. In the tradition of Spolin, we play and then post-- meaning that we play a game or a series of games built for our discovery, and then rest, reflect & discuss. In this way we make discoveries and learn approaches that are broadly applicable. It's all a bunch of fun, and the epiphanies sneak up on us.
