Miami Book Fair’s Speak Up meets The Moth Story Lab for a 7-week virtual workshop series for 10th – 12th grade students. The Moth Story Lab workshop teaches the art and craft of true, personal storytelling (including games, brainstorming, and story crafting) and culminates in a final virtual story share to friends, and family. You must be able to be there for all 7 virtual sessions. It’s a wonderful opportunity for students to develop and share a story about their lives, friends, or the family dinner table, and can even serve as a starting point for a college essay or scholarship application. Free to apply. No previous storytelling, writing, or performance experience necessary.
