Find. Craft. Tell. Your Story

12-Hour autobiographical storytelling bootcamp with Dyane Neiman & Izzy Ahrbeck. Learn how to tell true stories with confidence & know-how.

Saturday, September 13, 2025 | 10:00–22:00
Zentrum Danziger50 | Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg

Strip off the mask. Drop the armour. Bear your soul.

This isn’t just a workshop. It’s a full-day storytelling immersion: raw, intense, and unforgettable. Whether you're new to the stage or ready to deepen your craft, this 12-hour journey will push you to the edges of your comfort zone… and that’s where the magic begins.

At THE bEAR, we believe the best stories come from the most human places: vulnerability, courage, humor, and truth. And by the end of this workshop, you’ll have taken a meaningful experience from your own life and transformed it into a 5-minute story that truly lands.

🔥 PLUS: Participants will have the chance to put their name in the hat to perform at THE bEAR’s 11th Season Opening Night on September 19th—in front of a live, cheering audience.

Why Join?

Storytelling is more than just a performance, it’s connection, clarity, and community. This workshop offers a rare chance to…

🟠 FIND the real story behind your memories
🟠 CRAFT it with structure, tension, and heart
🟠 TELL it out loud with truth and power

We’ll guide you step by step, with expert feedback, multiple rounds of practice, and a safe, encouraging space. By the end, you’ll not only have a 5-minute, true, personal story - you’ll own it.

What You’ll Experience

✅ A 90-minute online prep call before the workshop

✅ A 12-hour immersive, in-person day of storytelling, coaching & practice

✅ Guided exercises to spark memories and unlock your story’s shape

✅ Personalized feedback from peers and coaches

✅ A printable handout to take home and use again

✅ The chance to perform your story on stage on Sept 19

You’ll laugh, you might cry, and by the end you’ll feel gloriously spent in the best possible way.

Because when you’re that tired, the armor falls away… and what’s left is honest, brave, and beautifully human.

Everyone Has a Story to Tell. What’s Yours?

🌀 Strange neighbors
🌀 Funny uncles
🌀 Tragic accidents
🌀 Short-lived romances
🌀 Mistaken identities
🌀 Life-changing mistakes
🌀 Invisible angels...

Even the most ordinary lives contain stories that can move a room to laughter or tears. This workshop helps you find those stories and tell them in a way that truly connects.
