Storytellers Series Workshops
The StoryTellers Series aims to build a community of storytellers in Joburg (and other places coming soon). Modelled on shows like Risk! and The Moth, with the Joburg series, we aim to develop stories of a new democracy with a new group of fresh storytelling talent.
Come ready to share your stories, and most importantly, to be honest!
The 3 hour course covers the basics of storytelling structure, story selection, and presentation. There's an option to perform at our bi-monthly gigs but no pressure though... Come if you have a story that you want to write up and share
ABOUT LEBO MOGASHOA:
Lebo was born in 1985, in Johannesburg. He grew up in a small village, then a bigger one, followed by an all-boys Catholic boarding school and finally my big move into Cape Town where he completed a Film and Media undergrad degree. He then headed to Korea to teach English where he started his story telling series “When we were nearly Young”, which developed a cult following. He returned to Johannesburg in 2013, and has been presenting the same series in partnership with POPArt. He is currently writing for TV on hit series' "The Queen" and "The River".
