    Keith Wann is an incredible presenter, storyteller and facilitator. Thank you so much for this workshop! I learned so much and I appreciate the balance of Keith showing us examples and us practicing ourselves. It was a FANTASTIC workshop!

    This was a wonderful workshop. Really helped me to start thinking with concept in mind, instead of word or word. It also gave me lots of tips on how to put on a new character. Keith was amazing how he explained answers to questions from the group. Great job!

    This was a wonderful workshop with a good set up. I liked seeing all of the examples and videos, and working in breakout groups was beneficial too… I believe adding more of these techniques and becoming the characters will make my interpreting more fun and entertaining and engaging for the kiddos I work with.
