Literature

Tell the story only you can tell! For the first time, MIT Literature is offering a special, 3-hour kick-off workshop where you will learn the craft of storytelling from The Moth, an acclaimed nonprofit dedicated to helping people tell true, personal stories. This interactive workshop is designed to help you harness the power of your own story. Guided by two Moth instructors, you will learn key principles of compelling storytelling, reflect on memorable moments in your life, and get practical tips to tell an impactful story that engages your audience. Every workshop participant will receive a free copy of How To Tell a Story: The Essential Guide to Memorable Storytelling from The Moth. After the kick-off, participants may meet independently with POST instructors to refine their stories in anticipation of a culminating Story Share at the end of the month. All students will have the chance to tell their 5-7 minute true, personal story live on stage without notes. No homework beyond light reading and story preparation. All participants will enjoy voice-friendly snacks like apples and honey sticks. Dates: • Kick-off Workshop: January 7, 1:00-4:00 PM EST @ 4-237 • Story Showcase: January 29 and 30 @ 4-163 Interested in […]
