Continuing the search for a storytelling grid it is getting obvious that eventually it will not be a grid i.e. 2D net. It can’t be a 3D form either since elements of time and change are involved (any suggestions for a form?). In the meanwhile I’m looking at the inner threefold of storytelling – the [...]

This search is going to take several posts to complete and I hope it provokes a good conversation. The idea: to create a frame of reference for many story-work forms that represent truly good intentions and work, while helping everybody realize what part of storytelling they are actually referring to. I also intend to clear [...]

Storytelling is getting into the hands of demagogues tapping into individual’s dreams for success, power, riches and happiness. Here are two examples I’ve cropped off twitter today:                     ‘Power to the people’ attached to ‘how we will control’ with the following hashtags makes one think that [...]

Here again comes that time of the year when Jews all over the world sit to the seder table and fullfil the ancient order of telling the story – the story of Exodus. The script is called the ‘Haggadah’ (the telling) and the teller is ‘Magid’. It is interesting to note that these words are [...]

Am I happy to see this amidst all the alleged storytelling noise. What made me smile a thin smile is looking at Daniel and hearing in my head all those voices naming storytellers who practice the art something close to traditional dinosaurs – in one form or another.

Imagine thirty children aged nine to twelve invited to spend the night in a children’s library. Isn’t that a great idea? It resonates with one of my childhood dreams I was also terrified of. The second dream was to spend a night in a toy shop. Brrr….. “White Night” is a special adventure arranged by [...]

Just to make it clear – I don’t stand for doing drugs in any shape or form. The need behind this “solution” is not a need for drugs but something else and therefore can be met with other solutions. How did I come to write about this? Three days ago I saw a video called [...]

This is it: you can’t learn storytelling through reading books, articles, blogs or tweets. You need to tell stories to people face-to-face for years, say around 7-10 years before you can even call yourself a storyteller, there is no quick-fix, there are no express-benefits. Being a true storyteller and extracting the human glory of this [...]
