An Introduction to the Art of Telling Stories

  1. E del Cantastorie, che dire? Quando prima di iniziare il primo incontro ci hai chiesto perchè eravamo lì a seguire il tuo seminario io ho risposto che volevo imparare a raccontare le storie ai bambini a scuola, non avevo la benchè minima idea di quello che realmente voglia dire raccontare una storia.
    Ho imparato che devo "mangiarmela" una storia, e farla arrivare in ogni parte del mio corpo, perciò che devo ESSERE la storia, così come ogni personaggio che ne fa parte.... devo viverla!
    Pure quando sto semplicemente leggendo un raccontino mi diverto ad immaginare la voce, il carattere, dei diversi personaggi..... e provo a mostrarli.... anche i bambini si divertono ad ascoltare e a provare ad imitare....

  2. I can't imagine a better embodiment of Le Coq's notion of playfulness, togetherness, and openness than Paola. Her joy in escorting a fledgling storyteller on a journey of discovery is palpable; her support unwavering; her wisdom penetrating. Learning from and with her is a wonderful story in and of itself, deserving to be told and experienced many times over.

  3. paola-
    you inspired me so so much, not only techniques (those are huge homeworks and also my big assets) but also about myself. your sincereness, your incredible quality of teaching and your charms made me smoothly accept what you pointed out in me and made me want to change myself. i feel the same freedom opening in the future as i did when i stopped drinking and smoking in the past. thank you again.
