Tell Stories Like Pixar with Kenn Adams

The Storypowers Podcast

Episode 111. What is the secret that makes al Pixar movies work? How can you use it to tell better stories? And why would anyone ever want to do improv??

Welcome to The Storypowers Podcast, the show about the power of stories, the people who tell them and why you should be doing it too. I’m your host, keynote speaker and storytelling coach, Francisco Mahfuz.

My guest today is Kenn Adams.

Kenn is the Artistic Director of the improvisational theater company, Synergy Theater, and the author of the book How to Improvise a Full-Length Play: The Art of Spontaneous Theater.

Kenn is also the reason that every child of my generation has been massively concerned that our toys are coming to life behind our backs and plotting against us when we don’t treat them fairly. No, he didn’t write Toy Story or work for Pixar, but he invented the story structure used in just about every single Pixar movie ever made.

You can find him at https://www.synergytheater.com/.
