Stimulated by the ancient power of the stories themselves and the skill and passion of a professional teller, participants will visualize characters and settings, discover connections to their own lives and absorb excellent models of good narrative. Rich in imagery, adventure and emotion, these stories offer listeners a chance to bring all that they are and all that they have done to making the stories live in the present moment. These ancient stories from a diversity of cultures stir memories, offer comfort and lead listeners on new creative adventures. oNe PeRFoRMANCe : 1 HouR $300 + HST woRKSHoP Traditional tales, polished over countless generations, are narrative jewels that offer a fine model for building your own stories into tellable, listenable pieces.
