Bringing Storytelling to New Communities.
Steve Otto has a degree in Speech and Dramatics, from the University of Missouri, with a specialty of Television Production.

Each level of development that storytellers go through has it’s pitfalls and limitations. How can we as storytellers avoid the pitfalls that have befallen those who gone before?

How have others successfully risen to successful practice of storytelling? These are some of the questions that we look at in this hour long episode of the Art of Storytelling with Brother Wolf Podcast.

Stephen Hollen writes…. Improvisational storytelling is a teaching tool that is a cross between storytelling that I have been doing for years and improv techniques I learned in my college days. Instead of aiming at oral tradition, it goes into the creative writing classroom to put “meat” on the three “Ps” – Person, Place and Problem plus one “P” of my own – Props.
By using these 4 “Ps” I help children in 3rd-5th grade unlock their creativity and develop the basics of Read more »
