of Geeta Ramanujam is here. The
Indian Storytelling Network is dedicated to facilitating the development of
Storytelling in India, with Storytelling being defined primarily as the
telling of Stories with one's body and voice -- perhaps with visuals such as
costumes, puppets, and props, and perhaps with electronic assistance -- in
live performance, that is, in social events in which all participants can
give feedback to each other as the event unfolds. The
Indian Storytelling Network's mission includes: Letting members of the public know
what Storytellers in what locations are available as performers and trainers. Enabling the Storytellers to
network amongst themselves. Facilitating Festivals and
Conferences. Communicating with other
Storytelling Organisations around the World. Developing ways of using Stories
and Storytelling for Education (including as parts of School
Curriculums). The ISN aspires to be a
resource for Educators. Developing ways of using Stories
and Storytelling for Therapy (Psychological healing). It is time for Storytelling Therapy to take
its place alongside Drama Therapy, Dance Therapy, Music Therapy, Art Therapy,
and Play Therapy. Developing ways of using Stories
and Storytelling for Coaching. The ISN draws upon many ancient
Indian traditions regarding developing ways of using Stories and Storytelling
for Education, Therapy, and Coaching. Conducting research regarding
forms of traditional Storytelling in India; documenting these traditions,
supporting continuations and modernisations of these traditions, and
presenting all of this to the public. Exploring ways of telling
traditional Indian stories to members of the contemporary Indian public -- in
the Vernacular languages, and in English, to help further develop the
Creativity, Compassion, Powers of Imagination and Reasoning, and Communication Skills
of all concerned. To Be Listed on an ISN
