The Art and Technology of Storytelling

Description

Learn to inspire, guide, and build lasting relationships with children through storytelling.

Willow Glen in Motion is pleased to present its first open house, “The Art and Technology of Story Telling”. The open house is a dynamic interactive workshop presented by storyteller and educator Deborah T. Simon. As professional storyteller, Deborah uses stories as vehicles for learning. The advantages of telling stories and reading aloud to children include: building strong family bonds, preparing children for school, and establishing the foundation for lifelong learning. Storytelling can create a lasting bond between a parent and child.

The free event will be held at the community room in the Willow Glen library on Wednesday September 29, 2010 from 5:30-7:30pm. Go to our contact page and email us if you're interested, or just give us a call at 408.288.7886. Seating is limited.

Everyone uses stories; learn to use the story effectively. At the end of this experience participants will: Understand why we use the story; learn why and how storytelling builds a bond between parent and child; gain knowledge of historical and current perspectives of the story; identify and practice using the elements of storytelling; experience and discover why and how a story captures ones attention; explore their storytelling styles

Deborah T. Simon is an education administration professional who is also a lecturer, writer, public speaker, child advocate and minister who talks stories. She has recently published Whispered Blessings: Stories That Inform, Illuminate, and Inspire. It is a book of short stories, all told by Momma Tee; they weave vivid, colorful, powerful pictures that tell of a time past, a time present, and a time yet to come.

More about Deborah and her book can be found at the publisher’s website. Deborah's words can truly inspire anyone and while everyone can benefit from this event, the focus of this event, “The Art and Technology of Story Telling” is for parents and teachers.
