About Storytellers Nsw
The Australian Storytelling Guild NSW is a community organisation which welcomes anyone with an interest in oral storytelling.
Storytellers Nsw Description
For us at Storytellers NSW, stories are told, rather than read aloud or shown on a screen
Storytelling is what happens when a story is told, face to face, eye to eye, mind to mind, heart to heart. The story is intimately known by the teller, spoken aloud, and shared, like a gift, with the audience. Known as the narrative oral tradition, storytelling is our first literacy.
We invite you to join us and experience this oldest and living art form
