$The Rhetoric of Story : 5th Foundation The Rhetoric of Story began with a simple question - what is a story? For over a decade I had been researching story and storytelling. In 2016 I created a series of seven lectures as I travelled through significant sites to the history of story in Britain, France, Sicily and Bali. These talks became the Rhetoric of Story, my first course, which as I write in early 2022 has over 35,000 students worldwide. As my first video production these recordings have some poor quality audio at times, for which I apologise. This ad-supported version of the Rhetoric of Story is free to watch. Please share it with your fellow storytellers.

Not words, not pictures, but events. And what are events made of? More events. - stories are made of events. - our mind pays close attention to events, times when reality does not meet expectation. - events are linked by chains of cause and effect. - once you know the events of a story, it can be told on any scale. - stories are fractal, they contain other stories, and are part of bigger stories. - events are described within stories as scenes.$
