Lunch & Learn with: Confabulation

Confabulation is a monthly storytelling event based in Montreal, Victoria, and Calgary. Storytellers share honest stories from their lives without notes, props, or gimmicks. This Lunch and Learn will give you more information about Confabulation and storytelling. Prospective storytellers can learn how to pitch their story and participate in one of their shows. You can also learn how their storytelling workshops and coaching can enhance your daily communication skills. Whether you are a published author looking to branch into literary performance, an emerging writer longing to share your story, or a literary lover in want of engaging, entertaining events, you are invited to learn from Confabulation’s founding artistic director, Matt Goldberg, and general manager, Deb Vanslet, in this free information session.
