A fun and engaging workshop that
explores telling stories using pictures drawn through a small wooden frame (a kamishibai
stage). A great way for storytellers to free themselves of the book, rote
learning of stories and to explore their inner artist.
This workshop will appeal to
storytellers who wish to try kamishibai, and educators who are interested in
exploring new ways of listening, speaking, reading, writing, drawing and
incorporating gesture into the classroom. As a pedagogical tool, its use is
limited only by imagination. Participants do not need artistic skills but they
will need a sense of fun and adventure!
Participants will gain knowledge of
how to develop unique stories for kamishibai. They will learn to identify the
visual elements that make a story work, explore how to create new stories with
limited artistic ability and practise using the kamishibai stage.
A classically trained actress, Jackie
finds the improvisational informality of this form of storytelling refreshing. Jackie
is often invited to work in educational settings that cater for children with
Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome and undiagnosed learning difficulties
as well as children who have experienced trauma. She believes that kamishibai
storytelling has engaged children in a way that is different to books, puppets
and storytelling without props.Presented by The Storytelling Centre Limited and The Arts HouseWith the support of National Arts Council SingaporeFor more info, please visit www.storyfestsg.com
