Some great feedback from our Performance Storytelling workshop with Empower Toastmasters Club at Alliance Francaise Bangkok สมาคมฝรั่งเศสกรุงเทพ

We had a fantastic Storytelling Performance workshop with Empower Toastmasters Club Bangkok at Alliance Francaise Bangkok สมาคมฝรั่งเศสกรุงเทพ. Such an engaged, positive, proactive group of attendees who made me feel so welcome & made it easy to connect together. They even gave me a birthday cake!
Thank you for the opportunity & I’m looking forward to creating more great stories together. 🙏🙏

TESTIMONIAL:
"Rory's workshops gave students the opportunity to be creative, tackle meaningful issues and challenge themselves through the medium of spoken poetry. The process Rory lead them through not only improved their English levels, but developed confidence and allowed students to express themselves in ways that many of them had never done before. The results of these workshops were performed in front of the whole school and they were nothing short of amazing! Not only did they have a positive impact on the students taking part, but their performances truly inspired all who watched them."

Korn's performance of his poem at our closing performance was moving and powerful, receiving thunderous applause from the student audience, and a few damp eyes from more than one of the faculty.
