The Bear presents a Workshop in the Art of Storytelling on July 6th in Berlin
Storytelling is a skill that you can master. If you are willing to stretch your skills, knowledge, and imagination, you can become a compelling storyteller.
This inspiring, challenging, and uplifting one-day workshop in the ancient art of storytelling is presented by the creators of The Bear, Dyane Neiman and Ben McGuire.

You will learn the art of unpacking our ordinary stories to discover the delicious details and transformational moments that make them extraordinary.
Some of the topics we will cover in this experiential workshop are:
