Tellabration Workshop: WORDS FLYING HIGH
Stories are embodied in the words through which they are told. We tell a story and our listeners are taken on a journey as our words enkindle their imagination. When we craft our stories, we too hear the words and take flight in our imagination. Words Fly High is an apt description of the art of storytelling. Join this workshop as Oba William King leads us through the essentials of successful moving stories
