Storytelling Skills: Wow Your Crowd // BUSINESS 234

Kevin Allison, Founder RISK! and The Story Studio

Wednesday, March 7th from 8:00 - 9:30 pm

From the bar to the boardroom, a well-told tale makes the best
impression. The Story Studio's storytelling workshop, taught by Kevin
Allison, provides students with the tools to discover a story’s core
message in a friendly, social environment in which they can come to
rehearse and receive feedback. Kevin focuses on techniques that build
concrete ideas, improve story structure, elicit emotion, and
ultimately keep an audience’s attention so that they will remember the
ideas conveyed in your story long after you have gone. This workshop
is an overview of some of the tools and principles taught by Kevin
Allison in his 9-week storytelling class at The Story Studio in New
York City.

Kevin Allison is the creator of the live storytelling podcast RISK!
(www.risk-show.com), and a member of the legendary comedy troupe MTV's
The State. He has appeared in Reno 911!, VH1′s Best Week Ever, Comedy
Central’s Viva Variety and Stella, and HBO’s Flight of the Conchords.
Kevin has written for The Village Voice, The New York Press, Film
Journal and more. He has taught sketch comedy and cinema studies at
The Peoples Improv Theater, The Philly Improv Theater, Mediabistro and
New York University.
