profile 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
