Quotes from workshop participants:

"It's the first time I've felt truly comfortable telling my stories, without wondering if people wanted to hear them. It was an experience that really boosted my confidence. " K.W., Electrician

"I have taken improv classes from Second City, and writing classes at various universities, but I have never learned as much about improvising stories as I have in Nell's workshops. She is that rare genius who can both perform and teach." Barry C. Creative Director, Namedrop, LLC.

"My favorite part of Nell’s workshops is the invariable sense of safety and warmth she seems to help us, the workshop attendees, attain each time. It’s a fabulous blend of spiritual and physical waking up…" Meryl K., Indiana University Adjunct Professor

"I was surprised and enchanted by the stories that came forward in me… Sound, movement, storytelling, connecting with juicy people and your own rich herstory - you have to join me for this experience, I love what Nell draws out of people with her magic!" Tanya T., Psychotherapist and Yoga Teacher

"It was exhilarating to be sharing such a personal story while balancing and playing with the energy and story of one other. I also really loved making loud silly noises in a circle of the people. I found the workshop to be a powerful way to tap into my own history and story while being fueled by others." Angela W., Nia Instructor

ONGOING - Host a Story Play Party in your living room!

Gather a group of your friends and invite Nell to lovingly, skillfully and playfully lead everyone into the exhilarating, relaxingly playful realm of Story Play in your own living room!

A master improviser and teacher, Nell has carefully adapted theater exercises for voice, gentle movement, wordplay and silliness into vehicles for fun. The group will warm up together and evolve from tired, gray, filing-cabinet brains to frisky goofballs happy to play with words and sounds and snapshots of images from memory and dream. Read testimonials below from a group of beginners who enjoyed their first Story Play event. Story Play is a balm on the soul of those who crave community, and creative expression with voice, playful movement and word play. No experience whatsoever needed to play. All levels of daring and curiosity honored and celebrated.

Sound fun? Contact Nell for more information on how you may host your own Home Story Play Party. It is easy, inexpensive and more fun than is normally legal.

Nell is an excellent facilitator. She created a space where everyone could let down their guard and be their authentic, playful selves without all that adult embarrassment and baggage we have in our day to day lives. Story Play provided the opportunity to get in touch with my inner child and take her out for a play date. Scarlett W., Naturopath

Nell intently and succinctly addressed potential anxieties and eased us into play with the warm-ups. Andy A., IU student.

I really appreciated Nell's skillful facilitation and ability to know when guidance would be helpful and to provide minimal intervention while creating a safe container for expression. The time together was juicy, heartfelt, and soul-enriching. Juliana J., Life Coach

My expectations were totally met and exceeded! I just felt such a release. I was so present and in the moment, and I got to share my stories with these people who were strangers only 2 hours before...and I got to receive the wisdom and beauty that they shared. Rachael H., Publicist
