international storytelling course at Emerson college uk The School of Storytelling is a place where stories and storytellers both old and new are welcome; a centre where stories can serve performers, healers, teachers, the business world, the environment and the wider community. It is a place of learning where the arts of the storyteller are practised, performed and honoured The Now of Storytelling 18th September – 15th December 2006 Each one of us is the hero or heroine journeying through the story of our life; facing challenges, experiencing loss, overcoming obstacles, discovering love, gaining wisdom and even living to tell the tale…. What is the relationship between our own experiences today and stories from the oral tradition? Which of these stories is asking to be told NOW to reveal the full range of our humanity? In the 21st century where the challenge and warmth of the human encounter is rapidly being replaced by electronic communication what is the role of the storyteller and the power of the spoken word? In this thirteen-week course we will explore the Craft of the Storyteller in three different ways: The Skills of the Storyteller ~ in depth work on story structure, voice, gesture and audience awareness. The Oral Tradition ~ working with different kinds of story: from teaching tales to wonder tales and myth. Biographical Storytelling – shaping and crafting our stories as gifts to illuminate our human experience. Essential to this journey is a path of Inner Development, the on-going work of being fully present and bridging the gap between who we are and what we tell. Participants will be encouraged to develop their own distinctive style of telling in a supportive atmosphere that features individual feedback and coaching. The working language is English for which fluency is required. Supporting subjects will include: clown, story games, spontaneous storytelling and artistic work. Course Carriers: Ashley Ramsden and Roi Gal-Or www.emerson.org.uk
