“Storytelling is the art of using words, gestures, facial expression, and body language to bring a story to life in the listener's imagination. From the beginning of time, storytelling has been the way cultures have preserved and celebrated their memories, passed on their values end belief systems, entertained, instructed and reported. Today, storytelling continues to invite us all to enter the theater of the mind — the imagination! To sum it up in one word, storytelling represents passion to me — a passion to listen to stories, to read stories, to share them with others, and to teach others to love them and tell them, too! ”
