Profile Information
- About Me:
- Spoken and singing voices - movement and voices, musical theater, poetry and storytelling have always been central to my researches and practice. I grew up in a family of actors who had an active part in contemporary theater troups.
At age of 12 in 1978 I participated to a semi-professionnal troup, "Théâtre du Loup" Geneva, masked theater. I was playing some charakters of the Grimm's tales then the next year "the three tales"modern writing. (Geneva Festival de la Bâtie).
Then after singing, theater and movement studies, I worked on several plays directed among others, by Robert Bob Wilson and Gérard Desharte. I also created some musical plays 93 to 98 amongst them:
"Orpheus" based on the transposition of the myth of Orpheus into a modern fable and "Hey, have you got your dice?"based on nursery rhymes, and games. (presented in theaters and in the Opera House "La Bastille" Paris 1998) along with workshops for the classes so that the children could experience their own way throughout the play together with workshops in schools based on poetry and theater. Presentation of some work on Orpheus in St Martins Institute, London.
Then with the birth of my daughter in 1998, I started more specifically to work on stories and tales and the practice of philosophy for children - dialogue in class.
Since 2003, I developped puppet theater based on tales, workshops and plays. 2006 to 2008, some schools asked me for the conception and direction of workshops and plays on the year application as part of "Cultural Awakening in schools" supported by the State.
In 2006, I created within the Chrismas market, a structure that would question and be a welcoming space for the rights for culture.
Itinerant welcoming space"Marquee of tales" 2006 and 2007.
Rights for expression (through theater and storytelling), information (through prevention of illettrism, violence and preservation of international humanitary rights), thinking (dialogue in the classroom-practice of philosophy for children) and participation to the
cultural life - in 2007 I was then asked to be the director of the Montreux Storytelling festival, so I did with the aim to coordinate a more professional storytelling festival in coherence with others in Switzerland. And in collaboration for the heritage (material and immaterial - in the Chillon castle) with other festivals such as "le Legendaire" in Chartres, and the national french library, France. This was the starting point for to step by step bringing me to collaborate more "europeannly".
in 2008, workshops, play, and within an international festival for children-another space "le cabanon des aventuriers" intergenerational space to tell together and play tellings from different parts of the world.
More of my care and attention now is for the diversity, interculturality, orality and memory.
I work in collaboration with storytellers, actors, musicians, painters, socio-cultural actors, ONGs, Swiss Institute for Youth and Media, Unesco, the Red Cross, the Swiss Federal Office for Culture, librairies, intercultural librairies by also developping projects that would participate to bringing orality within the school's application.
Founded "La Suisse raconte" intercultural association for the developpment of the different aspects of storytelling. info@lasuisseraconte.ch.
Member of the Swiss Storytelling Society. SSC
Invited to FEST 08 by Heidi Dahlsveen in Norway, Oslo - I contributed by bringing together informations for Switzerland and from then on, taking an active part daily to the european platform for storytelling, in the preparation, and organisation of FEST09 taking place in Switzerland. (1st to 9th).
As both conventions for diversity and immaterial cultural heritage have been ratified by the swiss federal office for culture and Unesco,
there are great possibilities to continue to explore and developp projects with the different aspects of storytelling in Switzerland together with the European federation for storytelling and worlwide:-)
with ....you:-).
I look forward to the wonderful possibilities to meet, share and collaborate with others on this virtual site and in reality!
Yours
Nathalie

Nina Naesheim said… - Dear Natalie:
I tried to send you a mail some days ago, but didn't understand how to answer until now. Thank you for adding me as a friend and for your greetings. Good luck with Fest and I wish you all the best for the New Year. I'm new to this professional story teller site and so many other computer things. It is exciting and strange and moves along...it is fascinating. I'm learning.
Nice to meet you.
So long.
Nina.

Jennifer Cayley said… - Dear Natalie,
Somehow I managed to miss this comment until now. Can't imagine how this happened. I feel so much my voice and movement work such a small beginning and it is so hard to find the resolution and the resources to really explore. The intensive times, five weeks at Roy Hart and five weeks at Canada's Voice Intensive have been such great gifts. Cannot imagine how rich it must have been to work with Robert Wilson.
What would you like to know about my school and community work? In January I go as Far North as I have ever be to the shores of James Bay to do some work in a school there and know there will be so much to be learned from the Aboriginal students there.
I do thank-you for responding to my profile and I am so sorry it has taken me so long to respond to you.
We'll be in touch
Jennifer

Layne Gneiting said… - Nathalie, I cannot hold back the glee I feel when I see your photo (your profile photo) . It captures so poetically the whimsy, mischief, and delight that sings in your eyes. Applaud the photographer for me. And please never stray from that dancing light that shines in your soul.

Keep in touch. No Stories are in a Solo. It needs two to Tango, etc, Nathalie. See me on my Page, and write.
Wow!

Manya Maratou said… - hello Nathalie, thanks for your interest and good words- there are more pictures in the jaima album on my facebook account
so, the tent is made of canvas, it has a diameter of 8metres and it needs an empty, flat circular space with a diameter of 12m. it is 4,5metres tall, and the walls at the sides are 1,80m- the area within the 12m should be free of trees, lamps etc
the area within the tent is 52square metres
I have told stories to 145 people, adults and children
we counted twice,
but that is because children don;t really mind sitting very close to each other. I think for adults 80-90 would be a good number, with benches and chairs along the sides.
certainly the jaima could travel outside greece, it is a nomad tent!
p. s. i agree about orality being a lesson in schools- speaking is still the best way o communicate

Nathalie:
I don't really know of the Japanese tradition of Kamishibai being perpetuated in the U.S., not in the traditional Japanese sense. What I have done with Kamishibai is taken the Japanese method and adapted it as a story theater method where all the children in a classroom participate in the telling of one Kamishibai tale. My book contains stories from all over Asia that can be adapted for my method of Kamishibai story theater. It's really extraordinary to see children work together in a cooperative manner to create a class Kamishibai!
