Storytelling and web2

Storytelling is an ancient art that has enjoyed an enormous international resurgence since the seventies. As well as performing in schools, conferences, festivals, libraries and events large and small, modern storytellers are entering the digital age energetically. They are uploading podcasts, itales, stories on itunes and You Tube clips. They are broadcasting story radio shows that stream over the internet, writing blogs and ninging each other!

I particularly recommend LabX, a collation of storytelling You Tube clips by a mixture of professional and amateur tellers; 'The Art of Storytelling' with podcasts of over 100 interviews conducted by US teller Eric or Brother Wolf. The 'Healing Story Alliance' US website is also absolutely fantastic.

Below in the links section you will find links to some of these very exciting resources.

Now Australians are also uploading You Tube clips: Jackie Kerin and Anne E Stewart of Victoria, Jesse Wind Wanderer of Perth and Lilli Pang of Sydney. Lilli has also just released a Spanish and English story CD.

I now have three CD's and I am planning on releasing a fourth in a few months with an environmental theme. But my next step is to upload stories to itunes and then create a You Tube clip or 12!
