A Story for Everything: Mastering Spontaneous Storytelling
An Interactive Workshop with The Moth’s Corey Rosen
Saturday, June 27 | 4:00 PM – 5:15 PM
People forget facts and figures, but they never forget a good story.
Join Corey Rosen (Host of The Moth, Lucasfilm alum, and author of A Story for Everything) for an immersive, high-energy workshop that bridges the gap between structured narrative and spontaneous play.
Taking place against the backdrop of our new exhibit, Catskills Romance: Love and Desire, this session will show you how to mine everyday moments from your own life and shape them into powerful narratives.
Whether you are preparing for a job interview, a wedding toast, a business pitch, or just want to hold court at dinner, you will learn the core tools of improv—listening, specificity, and emotional commitment—to make an unforgettable impression.
Through interactive exercises and supportive feedback, participants will learn how to:
Generate Ideas: Discover strong story premises from everyday life.
Master Structure: Shape a clear beginning, middle, and end without losing spontaneity.
Stay Present: Use improv instincts to remain flexible and authentic while telling a story.
Heighten Stakes: Find the turning point, amplify emotional beats, and land a resonant ending.
Adapt Anywhere: Bring narrative clarity and confidence to professional settings, toasts, auditions, and personal milestones.
Walk away with one honed story and the mastery to turn every future encounter into an unforgettable tale.
Bundle and Save. The Dialogue: Admission for Two Ticket Bundles available.
Limited Ticket Availability.
