Elements of Storytelling
Presented by Jen Rubin
Jen Rubin leads storytelling workshops around Madison, co-produces the Moth StorySlam in Madison, co-hosts Inside Stories podcast, and teaches the occasional social policy class at the University of Wisconsin School of Social Work. Her first book is We Are Staying: Eighty Years in the Life of a Family, a Store, and a Neighborhood. Jen will cover the five elements in crafting a good 5–7 minute story, how to take an anecdote and connect it to a broader, more universal theme, how to find the moments/anecdotes that you want to turn into a story and more.
