I would dearly love to know if there are any robust statistics on the effect of storytelling in education. The anecdotal evidence is that it impacts on literacy, numeracy, language, play i.e. it is a formidable force not only to open the imaginati...

Emma Alexander Arthur said… - Thank you, I just wish it wasn't so expensive to buzz over to the UK. I'd be over there every second weekend! I flew into Newcastle in August and I couldn't believe how many exciting events were going on in and around the region.

- I'll join the SfS. What a great resource! I'll also keep an eye on abitcrack.com. Unfortunately, I won't be across to Scotland until next year now as I have two storytelling events before Christmas. I have my first Halloween event for adults then after that my first stories told in Norwegian. I would really like to be over to the UK more often as there are so many exciting things happening with storytelling. I'll time my next visit with one of your Friday nights.
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have been telling stories since 1995. I love to tell folk tales, wonder tales, stories from all over the world that teach or mystify and, in particular, stories that enchant. I have worked with audiences of all ages and take as great a delight in reminiscence work as in inspiring young minds. I have also run story workshops and sessions on story making with children and adults and have recently experimented with the use of music as an inspiration to story making. I am not an epic storyteller, so the great myths and legends do not form part of my repertoire.
Since May 2008 I have started working in a secure unit with convicted 13 - 17 year-olds and this work is very challenging but also has amazing rewards and the effect of the storytelling on some of the children has startled not only me, but, more important, the staff who look after them. I get home very tired but also with a great glow. Powerful stuff, storytelling.
My latest project, now available for booking, is a performance entitled “There Was a King” which received its premiere at the Star and Shadow Cinema, Newcastle upon Tyne in July 2008 promoted by “A Bit Crack”. This is a selection of stories featuring a variety of Kings, old, young, good, bad or even very bad. Transformations occur, characters are changed and most of the stories leave us with an unanswered question to ponder…
I am currently Chair of the Society for Storytelling in England but, since I am over 70, I am uncertain as to how long I will continue with that activity. As for storytelling, I will go on doing that for as long as anyone cares to listen to my stories!
