Back in 2011, I needed photos for my website as a professional storyteller. I surveyed the field, and mostly found head shots. I wondered what image might convey the art of oral storytelling? So I started curating a gallery of found photos. Still working on it, all these years later. #oralstorytelling #storyteller https://storytellingpics.tumblr.com

What a beautiful afternoon at Storytelling cooperative!
Jumana Moon inspired us, beguiled us, charmed and transported us. We had some wonderful stories from the floor too and of course the chat and friendship after which might even be the best part.
It's always FREE thanks to our patrons.
Thank you to everyone who came along and made it special.

Somewhere in the 'dream' section of my mind is a project where I get together with a trad folk musician or two, and we go out into the local landscape and weave songs and stories out of the stones and the air and the voices of people who were once there. And I guess film/record it, although don't ask me about the tech side, because I haven't a clue and I'm terrified of microphones...

Putting it here as a way to maybe manifest it somehow, someday.

#introduction: I'm a storyteller practicing the art of #oralstorytelling

I tell #folktales #myths #legends #FairyTales primarily to live audiences. Currently building a repertoire of traditional tales from the #Uyghur oral tradition.

Also interested in: #theatre #AudioDrama #SocialAudio #baking #movies and using #Instagram for #ConceptualArt

Mastodon seems to encourage puns, absurdist mini-plays, and hilarious intentional misreadings of everything and I am here for it.
