Pursuit No. V: Rhetoric & Eloquence


The Pursuit of Rhetoric & Eloquence is the art of persuasion and charm. It is the craft of storytelling, oratory and the physical power of presence. In this pursuit, we observe and practice the skills required to communicate clearly. We engage with public speaking, storytelling, performances, poetry, theatre, acting, comedy, author talks and the study of other languages. To pursue the art of oratory, we must be prepared to look foolish, to delight in the craft of others and to enjoy the traditions passed down to us through centuries of humans telling one another anecdotes.
