The Art of Storytelling, A Cross-Cultural Experience
For writers, storytelling is the process of weaving language into a concrete narrative, with the purpose of creating rich, believable experiences. It is the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements and images of a story while engaging the listener’s imagination.
In other words, storytellers don’t just relay facts: they use words in a way that the reader or listener can sit inside the story itself as though they were really there.
With examples from her own writing, Achy Obejas will share with us how:
- Story telling crosses genres.
- Crosses cultures.
- And is its own art form.
