Fundamentals of Interpretive Guiding

This 16 hour course for 10-20 students will ground you in the key fundamentals of interpretation. Participants will learn how to organize a program whether you are giving a 1 hour lecture or a 2 week tour. We will cover audience analysis, turning a talk into an exploration, and how relatability and enjoyability can have audience members thinking about the experience long after they leave you.
