“It seems more
often than not people imagine storytelling to be the reading of picture
books to young children. In fact, the art of storytelling is anything
but that. A storytelling program, sometimes referred to as a
storytelling concert, is a performance much more akin to stand up
comedy than a book reading. There are three lively elements at play -
the audience, the stories and the teller. It has a spontaneous feel
and is filled with humor, wit, interplay and insight.”
