Story time Unleash creativity, embrace storytelling magic!

Dive into the world of storytelling in this playful, hands-on workshop where stories come alive, characters get quirky, and endings pack a punch. Across four engaging sessions (4 x 90 min), we’ll laugh, learn, and uncover what makes a great story tick—and how you can tell it like a pro.

No lectures, no stress—just a space to explore, experiment, and discover the storyteller within. Unleash your creativity and embrace the magic of storytelling.

This workshop is open to all storytelling mediums—your story can be spoken, painted, danced, or told in any way that feels right to you.

At the end of the course, you’ll have the opportunity (completely optional) to present your story to a warm and supportive audience at The Beast. Whether you perform or not, you’ll walk away with valuable storytelling skills and great memories.
