THE TRAVIS TECHNIQUE FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL STORYTELLING - ADVANCED
Write
Your Life Inside Out
A Travis Technique Master Class
on the Art and Craft of Autobiographical
Storytelling
with
Mark W. Travis
The
biggest challenge of autobiographical storytelling is the revealing of the main
character –
you, the storyteller. You
would think that just because you tell a personal story that you are clearly in
it. Ironically, this is often not the case. Of course, you are there in the
story but how much of yourself are you really sharing with your listener? How
open, vulnerable and available are you willing to be? Knowing and revealing
your
own inner journey is the
foundation of all good storytelling.
Want to write a good story? Write about
what you don't want others to know about you.
Want to write a great story?
Write about what you don't want to know about yourself.
The heart and
soul of your story is what happens to you,
inside
you. It is not the events, not the things that happen to you, or actions you
take or even the scenes you have with other characters. Your story lives in
your desires and expectations, your fears and confusion, your joys and disappointments.
The core of your story is what you are thinking and feeling,
fearing and desiring moment to moment throughout the event.
This Write Your Life Inside Out master class contains
techniques that empower you to identify the emotional truths of your inner
journey and to share these truths in such a way that your audience will
viscerally experience the journey.
