Why storytelling at this particular time?
 
Our present age is full of surprises
For the caveman, the world was a strange and
unexpected place. Storytelling around campfires
enabled the village to pool information about the baffling
problems that faced the village, why the wolves were
attacking or why the crops failed, or why the weather
was so harsh or dry or wet, and so on. As we began to
master these things over the last few couple of 
thousand years, we started to feel as though we
understood what was going on. Now once again, the 
world is becoming turbulent and things are, once again,
looking unexpected. Hence we feel the urge to sit 
around a conceptual campfire and swap stories and this
very old technology of storytelling resonates with us yet
again. 
 
   Storytelling rebuilds authenticity: There has long been a concern that, born as
original individuals, how is it that we die as copies? Today the concerns are sharper
than ever. The molds that abstract concepts are a key ingredient in the
phenomenon. Storytelling can rebuild authenticity by enabling the speaker not
simply to recite abstractions formulated by others and articulate stories that
represent the speaker’s unique creation. Developing skills at storytelling enables
individuals be trustworthy, real, original, unique. The storyteller is authentic. 
    It’s about re-connecting the speaker with the spoken:  Written language
brought tremendous benefits, but there was a downside. Writing separates the
speaker from the spoken. The advantage of writing was portability. The
disadvantage was that the author of the words often became uncertain, even a blur.
Initially, when it was clearer who wrote what, this wasn’t such a problem. Today we
are inundated with anonymous words, whose source is unknown. Deep down, we
are concerned about the blur. Oral storytelling reconnects the speaker with the
spoken. Living voice is connected to living reception in a way that responds to some
of our deepest desires to be connected.
    It’s about re-connecting the knower with the known:  As a child we learn some
things through direct apprehension. As abstract concepts start being drummed into
us around the age of eight, we acquire knowledge from others, knowledge that we
don’t have first-hand experience of ourselves, but which we are told to take on faith
from others. As an increasing proportion of our knowledge comes from others, which
is often in direct conflict with our direct sensory apprehension (e.g. the earth
revolves around the sun), we become disconnected with the bases for our
knowledge of the world. Storytelling helps re-establish that connection by linking
knowledge with the specific context in time and space in which it arose. 
    It’s about a technology with wide and deep appeal. Storytelling is something
we start to master at the age of two, both as a teller and listener of stories. It’s
something we have done for thousands of years. It may even be hard-wired in our
brains as one of the things that we have an innate capacity to do. 
    It’s about reversing the conventional order of things: The conventional
wisdom is that people who interact on the lowest level talk about other people; on
the next level people talk about things; and on the highest level of interaction, they
talk about ideas. The pursuit of storytelling involves setting aside this thinking as
prejudice and recognizing that storytelling is the way we learn most things about the
world. Example.
    It’s about mastering story patterns not finding panaceas:  Storytelling doesn’t
solve all problems. It is not a panacea, but it does enable us to do things that
abstract analysis cannot. 
    It’s about understanding underlying story functions and structures. This
book is not about the surface meaning of the stories but rather the use to which
stories can be put and the relationship that the structure of the story has to the use
to which it will be put. 
   It’s about developing storytelling technique, not aping preset procedures:
Although the book does offer some simple shortcuts to constructing powerful stories,
the book cannot only provide a container. The content has to come from the
storyteller who can improve ability to do this through the development of storytelling
technique. 
   It’s about the activity of storytelling, not the artefact of story. The book is
mainly about the art of oral storytelling, not the furnishing of written stories.
Storytelling in writing operates by different rules and requires different skills. .
   It’s about deep meaning of storytelling, not a mere veneer of anecdote. An
anecdote is often used to refer to a story that is told in a lackluster fashion. The
same story told with purpose and style can have a much larger impact. 
   It’s about listening to the audience as much as being listened to: Effective
storytelling is an interactive process and cannot be accomplished successfully
without a strong ability to listen to the audience, and adjust the storytelling as the
story performances evolves. 
   It’s about sparking creativity not giving instructions: Ultimately, the storyteller’s
performance will depend on what’s within, the spirit, the energy, the soul, the force of
the storyteller. This book can only spark what is already there. In the process,
storytellers gets to know themselves. .
   Everyone wants their story told.  As Hamlet is dying, his last request to Horatio
is that his story be told. He articulates the wish in all of us. Storytelling enables us
not only to tell stories, but also to tell our story.

Once Upon a Time: A Storytelling Handbook
Brenemann, L. and Brenemann, B. . Chicago: Nelson-Hall. LB1042 .B67 1983.
Their chapter headings give an excellent idea of what you'll find here: choosing a story,
analyzing and adapting the story from books for oral telling, working for fluency, working for
characterization, working for visualization, working for bodily action and control, working for
unity and polish, anticipating a real audience [MD]. The Brenemanns are much loved in the
profession [RC]. A practical, useful guide for teaching storytelling systematically, written for use
as a textbook, but not very exciting. The authors' premise is that storytelling is an acquired skill
that anyone can learn. They pay special attention to story biography as a rewarding category to
explore. Includes sample stories and an annotated USA bibliography of recommended stories for
telling. Doesn't cover either history or issues, just straight how-to. [VD]

related activities and ideas for discussion.

Cassady, Marsh. The Art of Storytelling: creative ideas for preparation and performance.
Colorado: Meriwether Publishing 1994
A pretty good how-to book, covering choosing stories, developing original ideas, and
presentation. It's aimed at teachers, although it would suit others too. There are copious practical
tips, given in a pithy form. Each chapter has the full text of a story or two, used for examples,
and a list of classroom activities. Strangely, the stories are presented in a rather literary form,
with lots of dialogue - she seems to expect cross-over writing activities in class. Lots of practical
processes with examples, on choosing types of stories; audience and location; analyzing the story
- interesting stuff on plotlines and structure; adapting stories; ideas from experience; creating
characters; planning structure; creative presentation; setting moods; body and voice. [TS]
