Everything I Know About Presentations, I Learned in Theatre School

If you do Powerpoint presentations I highly recommend this interesting and original post by Darren Barefoot:

• Respect the Narrative Arc.

• Tell Stories.

• Embrace Metaphors.

• Dialogue Starts on the Page.

• Slides are Your Costumes, Lighting and Set, Not Your Speech.

• Your Set Design Needs Soul.

• The Play’s As Long As It Needs To Be (or Not To Be).

• Surprise Your Audience.

• Begin In Media Res.

• Find the Funny.
