Ivan Coyote is the author of six collections of short stories, one novel, four short films and three audio CDs. Still, she makes most of her living as a full time writer and storyteller from live performances. Join Ivan in this workshop designed to help you transform your nervous energy into a memorable reading. Tips on selecting material, preparing your work for performance, memorization (or not), and how to make your body language work for you. Ivan will also share some stage secrets about microphones, sound guys and selling your books. Please bring a short (3 minute) selection of your work to be staged.
