The following is a quote from the National Storytelling Network's webpage...check out their website!
"Storytelling...
Storytelling, the language art that predates written history, is also a widespread, dynamic, and varied art form in the modern world. Professional and amateur storytellers entertain audiences of all ages. Storytelling is a key tool in fields such as health and healing, business, law, education, religion, and environmental action.
Everyone is familiar with the power and intimacy of one-on-one conversation. Many recognize theater’s magical capacity to open the mind to new horizons. Storytelling, a life skill with enormous communicative powers, combines these qualities. Storytelling transforms lives - and NSN transforms storytellers."
The National Storytelling Network Conference is being held July 29, 2010 through August 1, 2010. Check out the conference information on their website at www.storynet.org. All I can say is that practice makes for a better storyteller. So go tell your stories!
