Storytelling taps into our imagination,it allows us to visualize and experience different realities.Weather it is a fantastical world, a historical event,or a personal journey,stories have the power to transport us to new and exciting places. By sharing personal experiences, struggles and triumphs, storytellers create an emotional connection with the audience.
Through storytelling,we can gain a deeper understanding of different cultures, experiences, and perspectives.
Words are the building blocks of storytelling. With the right combination of words storytellers can create Magic. Storytelling is the first form of live theatre,which is why children love it.
I said that because I have a strong memory of my childhood.When my Nana Abu used to tell us stories before bedtime,my brother and sister were sitting around him like an audience and watching his facial expression like watching any TV show and we all waiting for that part of
the day, when night come and when Nana Abu tell us the story. Through the power of imagination, emotional connection,empathy and words, storytellers can weave spells that captivate and inspire us.
Whether you are a writer, reader or a listener, the magic of storytelling is waiting to be discovered.
