Uncover your creative DNA.

This is similar to a mini-mentorship; each student will gain tools for expanding and mastering storytelling according to their specific goals.

Past students' projects ranged from dance, choreography, music, poetry and editing.

  • Only 5 students per session

  • 1-on-1 Customized Feedback

  • Open to all levels

Course Structure:

Sessions will be held on Zoom.

All sessions will be recorded for replay, should you be unavailable to attend.

You will receive off-site projects to complete each week.

Galen joins live for Week 1 (a kickoff meeting!), Week 3 (midterm review), week 5 (Final review & Q&A).

A group chat will be available in between meetings to keep each other accountable, share "works in progress", have a sounding board for ideas, and feel a sense of community.

  • Aug 2, 11am-12pm PST:
    Galen will join you live for a kick-off meeting! Each student will present their storytelling goals and receive a bespoke assessment of their strengths & a project to complete the following week.

    For example, do you want to get better at storytelling while executing choreography? Do you want to put on a live show and need guidance? Want to make concept videos but need direction?

    Not sure what you’d present? You can express what kind of storytelling you’re drawn to and Galen can present ideas!

    Off-site homework this week. Group chat brainstorming and feedback available.

  • WHO IS THIS FOR?

    · All levels, all styles, all ages

    · You value authenticity, individuality and stretching your creativity

    · Artists who want a supportive environment to experiment.

    · You know you’re capable of more and want it brought out of you.

    · You want a fresh set of eyes on your ideas.

  • WHAT QUESTIONS WILL THIS ANSWER?

    · “How do I go beyond ‘generic’?”

    · “How do I develop a point of view?”

    · ”How do I discover my process as a storyteller?”

    · “What do I do if I have ideas but I don’t know what to do with them?

    · “What do I do with my face as I perform if I want to tell a story?”

    · "How do I not look like everyone else?"

    · “What is Galen’s approach to storytelling?”

    · “How does Galen seemlessly storytell through song, dance, film and stage?’”

    · “How can I apply those concepts to my own artistry?”

  • "Every time I participate in Galen's workshops, another lock is opened in my self-expression. Only a gifted teacher and leader can help others rise to their potential. My first event, GHM Lite, was in 2020. Six years later, I’ve danced freestyle, expressed myself on camera, choreographed others, and now written a song in GHM Storytelling, all of which are firsts. My 2020 self would not have expected these breakthroughs. Thank you for the part you’ve played in making this possible!"
