Storytelling
Tutor: Umi Sinha
Stories are loved by everyone, young and old, and live storytelling is an experience unlike any other – it is an act of creation both on the part of the teller and the listener. Stories can be used in many different settings to rekindle memories, educate, heal, break down barriers and build bridges between people. This is an opportunity to learn to tell a story – both a traditional one and one of your own – in a lively and spontaneous way that will engage your listener and allow you to experience being fully present and in the moment.
