Salam Dongeng! :)
Apa kabar kakak-kakak. Berikut adalah beberapa tips dongeng yang dicatat Kak Rona saat di SG. Semoga bermanfaat! Mereka menunggu dongeng darimu! :D
In September 2013, I attended Singapore International Storytelling Festival. I also joined a 'successful storytelling' class that taught by Len Cabral, an international professional storyteller.
This is my note from successful storytelling class. Enjoy!
Room setup
- Make the audience closer.
- This is the ideal position. No more younger children tired because they looked at the older children. (learn to be a good audience)
- Or make them like this
When telling stories
- Eye contact’s need
- You need to build (Engagement, entertainment, aducation)
- Find the stories
- And practice it.
-
We don't need to move highly
- If just a little audience, prefer without microphone
- Start and finish should be powerful!
- For young audience, we can use participation
- Make it happen! Ã funny-scary-surprising!
We are the one who know the stories!
The ideal duration to tell one stories
3-5 years : 15 minutes
Ideal for all age : less than 45 minutes
How about story from parents? How to tell it?
Parents don't need to use a dramatic performance. Because the children just wanna hear your story.
As a storyteller, we've to read a lot. We can build our own stories.
