Keeping your talk fresh - Storytelling Techniques for Scientific Presentations

Goals:
This is an activity-based workshop, led by a theatre professional, whose expertise is in eliciting the researchers’ narrative, identifying the speaker's authenticity as a storyteller and supporting the speaker to effectively communicate the importance and relevance of the work and the core message in the talk. Participants learn narrative techniques, practice telling stories and integrate these techniques into their talk. The seminar provides participants the opportunity to connect a narrative to their core research, build the story, create suspense and anchor points of reference throughout the talk with their story. Additionally, they will learn to develop a protagonist and learn how to "chunk" or segment units of action in the talk.
