🔥 CONFLICT: THE BEATING HEART OF STORYTELLING
Join storyteller and speaker Kory May for a high-impact, 90-minute workshop that dives deep into the pulse of every great narrative: conflict. Whether you're a performer, writer, educator, or strategist, this session offers practical tools to build stories that move people, shift perspective, and leave a lasting mark.
Participants will explore:
- What a character wants—and what stands in the way
- How real temptation creates meaningful pressure
- Why conflict doesn’t just drive plot—it reveals character
Rooted in story mechanics and emotional truth, this workshop is perfect for anyone looking to craft unforgettable stories with clarity, tension, and heart.
