Thank you all for such a good beginning! Today after introductions we did a storyteller ear-training activity, matching initial, final, and internal sounds of words. Remember Gamble Roger's advice: "Use the language you possess."
We moved to W-P 403 for our story olio. We will use this room every day except Tuesday, July 19.
Our Stories:
Fynn - pepper spray and the laws of physics
Chris - the white elephant
Danielle - "stronger than elephants"
Patrick - the split coin (return from death)
Rebecca - the story of Moses
Jessica - 3 stories: the ocean friend, the 3 sheets, longing for rain and love
David - sterling
We discussed the combination of stories in a number of ways: shared themes, images, contrasting tempo, landscapes, etc. In consideration of combinatorics: the alphabet, cooking, and storytelling all involve the combining of set ingredients into unique forms. All the stories were unique. The storytelling session as a whole was unique. Yet we recognize many standard motifs and patterns in the mix. More ont his as we progress.
Just a note but the title of the story is "Husband and Wife in This Life and the Next." I slipped it in but didn't properly introduce it.
