Spring
Storytelling Courses.
Hi Folks. Here are three of our spring courses on Using/becoming an Interpretive Storyteller. Each course focuses on different aspects of interpretive storytelling that visitors can connect with and remember the main interpretive messages. You can start these courses at
any time and complete the courses at your own pace. Each course includes live chats with the
course instructor (Prof. John Veverka) to help coach you through each course. So "Once upon a time..."

Interpreting "the rest
of the story", a
powerful Interpretive communications technique for revealing and releasing the "rest
of the stories" hidden in artifacts, objects, historical figures/events, landscapes, or sites through both live presentations and interpretive
media text and label copy.

Interpreting Legends Myths and Fables – telling the
story within the stories.
When I was a Seasonal
Interpretive Naturalist with Ohio State Parks and doing my evening campfire
programs, the visitors always wanted a story. From ghost stories to Bigfoot to
things that go bump in the night - they wanted the story. Amazingly, many
legends and myths have some bases in reality, or taught a lesson.

When there's nothing left but
the story – Interpreting the Abandoned, Interpretive storytelling when there’s nothing
left but the story.
Interpreting the stories of abandoned
landscapes, cabin/homes, farm fence line, battlefields, archaeological ruins, heritage sites or artifacts left
behind/abandoned by their owners and in need of a storyteller.

Interpretive
Writing for copy for museum labels, outdoor panels or storytelling scripts. How to develop copy that is theme and
objective based, and “provokes, relates and reveals” the story of the objects
or artifacts to the visitors. 100 words for panels and 50 words for on-wall
museum exhibits? Want to know why? What the research tells us.
