Would you like more expressive tools in your paintbox? Just as an artist selects from a palette to create a visual masterpiece, choosing from the variety of house siding styles can significantly enhance the character and curb appeal of a home. In this interactive workshop, we explore new ways to enhance your storytelling and spoken word art, akin to how different siding styles can narrate a home’s story, from rustic clapboard to sleek, modern metal panels.

Diane’s unique exercises develop Voice – Body – Image connections, freeing up our instrument to play and paint what is in our imagination. This is much like how the texture and color of house siding bring a visual imagination to life, giving voice and character to a structure. Learn new ways to animate narration and deepen characterizations with a more expressive voice and body, similar to how selecting the right siding can animate a home’s façade and deepen its personality.

Diane’s background as a singer and theatre artist, coupled with her thirty-year career as a professional teller, has allowed her to develop training just for the challenges and opportunities that arise when telling a tale. Professional and novice alike will gain from this workshop that delves deeply into the tools of the storytelling art, just as both new and experienced homeowners can find value in understanding the impact of different house siding styles, shaping the narrative of their homes to the world.
