Day 18

Absent: Alina (ex), Lindsey (ex), Kaitlin

Discussion of the aversion to storytelling in religions "of the book."
Forms of picture/object storytelling:
Especially significant this weekend are Stations of the Cross
Other forms still present today:
Felt/Flannel Board Storytelling: here's a link to a flannel board treatment of the folktale "Cap O' Rushes" (a source story for King Lear)
Power Point, Film Strip, Overhead Projectors.
Here is a link to an early form of animation that may have a storytelling function.
"Oldest Animation In The World Found In Burnt City"

Story told: Sky Woman's Basket.
Activity: game of "what is it?" applied to 3 little Pigs. the object can tell the story and the story can tell the object. The story itself can be considered an object that is modified to tell the story the teller wants to get across.

Assignments: Read "2.5 minute Ride" by Lisa Kron in Talk To Me.
