Invasion Festival: Vayu Naida Company: Storytelling - An Ancient Art -Workshops (Adults)

Vanyu Naida Company

Are you sitting comfortably? The small group attending this workshop sat on the floor with our teacher, the calm but expressive Vayu Naidu. We all like telling stories, don't we? Well, understanding and involving your audience is key, Vayu explains, as she compares and contrasts traditions from around the world. We all told stories, a liberating experience that gave Vayu an opportunity to give us individual advice. I told the sad, true story of being sent to a break-dancing workshop by the sadistic slave-drivers of ThreeWeeks. Though this seminar was short, we were able to get relatively deeply into the heart of the story-teller. I wished it could have gone on longer though. That said, several of the ideas have stayed with me so perhaps it has. The End.
