Wow! what a wonderful storytelling adventure. I too attended the National Institute in Tennessee after taking my first storytelling class with Dr. Cole. I was absolutely gaw gaw at what I heard and who I saw. I could not agree more that is was one of the most gratifying storytelling adventures ever. Every storyteller should go to one. By the by, I consider you one of those experienced storytellers.
The Wide World of Storytelling by Kaden Sheffield
This July I took my first step into the wider world of storytelling by attending the National Storytelling Network Conference in San Francisco, California. Besides being a lot of fun, it widened my view of the genres and people who make up the storytelling community. The keynote speakers spoke ...
I love your favorites. We, book lovers love various books and writers for different reasons. I won't read King because his stories show up in my nightmares. I love Fen Follett, because of his embedded European history; Nicolas Sparks because the setting are in the state I was born in and wonderful; Walter Mosley writes good murder/detective/mysteries spiced with sex; David Baldacci whose exciting mysteries take you abroad; Sue Grafton whose mysteries written in alphabetical order have a marvelous description of California; and Of course Maya Angelou & Earnest Hemingway never gets old. Thanks for sharing your favorites.
Favorite Stories by Gretchen Hombach
It all started with books! I love hearing stories and I love telling stories all because I started a love affair with books at an early age. My earliest memory of a storybook was one a babysitter used to bring whenever she came to the house. The story she read wasn’t “The Three Be...
Thank you Anna. All you said makes perfect sense. Once I get rid of the fear, I look forward to trusting myself to being a vessel 100%.
Allowing the Story to Take the Lead by Anna Blocher-Rubin
“Authors do not choose a story to write, the story chooses us.” Richard P. Denney Storytelling is a known art. What is not always known is that the story can take the lead as the storyteller tells the story. It’s as if the story takes its own form in the process of being told. In the beginning ...
Elizabeth, your job is harder than being the president of the US. I applaud you and all the wonderful volunteers who give of themselves to help the less fortunate. There are just too many of them. And why is that? So many reason and affordable housing is high on the list. Wish Washington would work as hard as you to lower the numbers. Less talk - more volunteers.
Angels of Andre House by Elizabeth Wunsch
“Ahhgghh I have to present at a board meeting next Monday. Aaagghh.” A special board meeting because the Provincial is visiting. “We would like you to talk about our volunteer program.” I am not one for numbers. Numbers of volunteer visits, numbers of groups, students, seniors. The value of a ...
Welcome back little girl. It's great to know we can bring back "great excitement" through storytelling!
“That Little Girl” by Elizabeth Wunsch
What part of your being is the storyteller? What part of you grabs hold of the story and propels it through your vessel, utilizing all your senses, and sends it penetrating the senses of the audience only to be bounced back at you to continue the circle of the story? Fo...
Thank you Liz. This is a goldmine for me. Meticulously outlined and very helpful.
Using Storytelling in a Variety of Settings by Liz Warren
I’m teaching Using Storytelling in a Variety of Settings at the SMCC Storytelling Institute this spring, so I’ve been thinking about the range of things that storytellers are asked to do. The list below is what I’ve come up with so far. For each of these, the setting will, of course, make a ...
This is a marvelous testament,
mini biography and lesson of how to develop an amazing storyteller. In my opinion you are a storyteller icon equal to Donald Davison, Jackie Torrence and Elizabeth Ellis. Looking forward to learning about the other great storytellers and taking other exciting and stimulating storytelling classes from South Mountain Community College Storytelling Institute.
Before taking your class, how to leap from 20 minutes to 15 hours felt improbable but not impossible. Developing the storytellers repertoire changed that.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE IN BECOMING A COMMUNITY STORYTELLER AND A STORYTELLER EDUCATOR. You have touched innumerable lives with me at the top. Thank you professor Warren!
What kind of Storyteller Do You Want to Be? by Liz Warren
"How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else." R. Buckminster Fuller When I first became caught up by storytelling, I was deeply inspired and molded by brilliant professional storytellers like Donald Davis, Jackie Torrance, Elizabeth Ellis, Olga Loya, and m...

Storytelling and Sailing by Rhonda Brewer
I have belonged to two communities in the last few years that have greatly impacted my life- sailors and storytellers. It occurs to me that these two groups share several common attributes. They both require basic knowledge. In order to effectively move a sailboat across the water, it is impo...

Storytelling II by Willie Mae Crosby
Storytelling II with Liz Warren has shown me a different side with young and senior tellers in our class. It has given me a different perspective on storytelling. I want to be able to tell stories to children and older adults to see the look on their faces - surprise and joy. I want to make th...
