Learn to be a Fearless Storyteller

Learn to be a Fearless Storyteller with Ryan Estrada and Kim Hyun Sook

State Library of WA - Theatre (Ground Floor)
1:30 - 2:30pm

Storytelling is a skill you can use in any career, from making comics, to being a doctor. And the best way to master it is to tell stories in front of a crowd. This interactive workshop helps cure stage fright, shows you how to construct a compelling story, and perfect it until it's ready to share in front of an audience.

Please Note:

Children should not be left unattended at this workshop. If you are a parent accompanying a child you do not need to reserve a ticket, but you do need to stay with your child for the duration of the workshop.

Featuring: Ryan Estrada

Ryan Estrada is an Eisner and Ringo-nominated, Freeman Award-winning author/artist/adventurer who has been traveling the world making comics ever since his high school ambassadorship to Australia inspired his Student Ambassador series. His other books include Banned Book Club, Good Old Fashioned Korean Spirit, Occulted, and Learn to Read Korean in 15 Minutes. He’s made comics for Garfield, Star Trek, Popeye, and Flash Gordon.

Featuring: Kim Hyun Sook

Kim Hyun Sook never planned on becoming an author, but one day, while hiking with her cartoonist husband Ryan, she casually mentioned her experiences smuggling illegal books under the nose of a dictator. Years of storytelling, research, and interviews later, she is the award-winning co-author of Banned Book Club and its sequels, No Rules Tonight and Good Old Fashioned Korean Spirit. Now everyone knows all of her secrets.

This event is part of the annual Perth Comic Arts Festival, a completely free to attend, volunteer run celebration of comics, their creators and readers.
