What is Professional Storytelling?
Storytelling is one of the most ancient of art forms. The need to hear and be heard has always been important to mankind. What it means to be a professional storyteller, however, can be confusing.
Often, audiences with small children are surprised when a storyteller shows up without a book in hand. In storytelling, we do not read from text; we use our own words and experiences; emotion and energy; insight and creativity to craft a story.
