Why Storytelling?

No special equipment beyond the imagination and the power of listening and speaking is needed to create artistic images.

• As a learning tool, storytelling can encourage students to explore their unique expressiveness and can heighten a student's ability to communicate thoughts and feelings in an articulate, lucid manner.
