What is Storytelling?
From ancient times, storytelling has been a primary means of sharing and preserving cultural history across generations.
Storytellers’ narratives served many purposes: transmit knowledge, preserve traditions, inculcate morals and values, or simply, to entertain. Through the use of compelling words, gestures, movement and visual images, storytellers evoke emotion and inspire action.
