class Storytelling Skills: Wow Your Crowd // BUSINESS 234 Kevin Allison, Founder RISK! and The Story Studio Thursday, June 14th from 6:00 - 7:30 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. Can't make it? Sign up at
