Find. Craft. Tell. Your Story.
Get ready for THE bEAR’s Open Stage Shows by diving deep into the world of storytelling.
This intensive, hands-on workshop will guide you through the art of finding, shaping, and sharing powerful personal stories.

With multiple storytelling rounds, supportive feedback from fellow participants, and expert coaching, you’ll walk away with confidence and clarity—ready to share your story with any audience.
Why Storytelling?
Storytelling isn’t just a stage skill—it’s a life skill.
Whether in everyday conversations, in professional contexts, or on stage, the ability to tell a compelling story helps you connect, engage, and inspire.
What You’ll Experience:
🟠 EXPLORE key moments from your life that shaped who you are.
🟠 LEARN how to turn these moments into engaging, authentic stories.
🟠 BUILD storytelling confidence in a safe, supportive space.
Together, we’ll explore what makes stories powerful—and how to craft yours with a step-by-step approach.
You’ll test ideas, receive helpful feedback, and refine your story until it truly resonates.
What’s Included:
✔ A 90-minute online session ahead of the workshop (to prepare and brainstorm ideas)
✔ An immersive full-day workshop with expert coaching and plenty of storytelling practice
✔ A handout with key techniques and tools for future reference
✔ A chance to share your story with the group in a supportive setting
Everyone Has a Story to Tell. What’s Yours?

Why a Full-Day Workshop?
Yes, it’s a long day—on purpose. After a full cycle of storytelling, reflection, and connection, you’ll feel physically and emotionally spent. And that’s when the magic happens.
Fatigue dissolves self-protection, allowing us to show up raw, real, and vulnerable. That’s when your truest stories emerge.
Ready to Take the Plunge?
In collaboration with the non-profit THE bEAR e.V., we regularly offer open storytelling workshops for anyone who wants to learn how to find, craft, and tell personal stories.
The stories you develop in this workshop can be shared at THE bEAR’s Open Stage Show on April 25.
By the end of the day, you’ll have practiced your story multiple times and be ready to step onto any stage with confidence.
Let’s start spring with a splash—
Take a deep dive into storytelling!
Man is on a diving board and hesitates to jump into the water.
Become a Better Storyteller!
-
Pick apart our memories - visually, orally, and any other way you feel comfortable to explore the journey of your life. Make connections, better understand your motivation and actions, discover your vulnerabilities and your strengths. Reflection helps us in hindsight to pinpoint the lessons we learned after trials and tribulations.
-
You will better understand story essential elements by explanations, discussions, exercises, and excellent examples. In a safe and fun space, you can put on your creative hat adding the ingredients that make your story unique: including sensory language, composition, gesture, voice, spacing. There will be many opportunities to test your ideas with supportive peers.
-
After a dinner pause together, the day will climax with sharing our story art works. And added bonus: you will build your confidence in public speaking by simply doing it, again and again! We will take turn on stage under the spotlight to connect with our audience, receive applause, support, and important tips to consider for improvement.
