for the love of a good story

What is Storytelling?

We view telling stories orally as an art which all people possess to some degree, by virtue of possessing speech or access to its alternatives.

Accordingly, we acknowledge that storytelling can range from a hesitant recount of an anecdote over a family meal to a full blown solo concert performance requiring sustained preparation, and underpinned by great artistry and skill.

How do we vary?

As oral storytellers, we vary in:

• the types of story we tell - folk tales, wisdom stories, crafted personal stories
• our purposes when we tell - entertain, convey insight, express ourselves
• the occasions and settings where we tell - regular story sharing meetings, concerts, festivals.
