| Above Photos by Isaac Beverly of North Vernon, Ind. "To those who have never heard a pro teller," Sharon says, "I would say that a good raconteur works in tandem with the audience members to comprise a repertory company of two. The teller provides all the characters and supplies the vivid imagery through language, expression, vocal dynamics, gesture, movement, and any other 'telling tools' the teller deems appropriate. The audience--each one individually--uses that imagery to paint the set, supply the props, and create the special effects on the stage of his or her imagination. No two audience members will see or hear exactly the same thing. This ancient art is interactive and personal."
Please note: The Storyteller makes no attempt to be "politically correct." She seeks only to tell the truth, inasmuch as her research reveals it. If someone in her audiences has a different understanding regarding a particular event or circumstance, that person is invited to submit the information, including sitation of the source (title, author, publisher, date, and page number).

Sharon is a graduate of Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana, with a B.S. in English. She minored in speech and theater.
Oh! The magic of story to enthrall! Each child sees the story in his or her imagination. |
