Friends, Romans, Indians, Countrymen,
Lend me your ears!
The Chennai Story Telling Festival
2016 is starting this weekend. Inauguration is on Friday, 05 February 2016 at 5
p.m. and the fest goes on till 14 February 2016 (for those of you who don’t
know, it ends on Valentine’s day ;-).
Seven story tellers will participate
in daily evening sessions. The stories will be related to two themes –
The "Big Rains" and
"Storytelling for Communication".
On 12 February, a workshop on 'how to tell
stories' has also been organised. This workshop is an opportunity for college
students interested in the art of story-telling. It will be held at Dr MGR-Janaki College (in R
A Puram, Chennai). Certificates would be given to all the participants.
The festival, hosted by the
International Institute of Storytelling in the city, will be attended by noted storytellers from India and abroad. The guest co-host of the festival this
year is Ruth Trotter of California, United States.
See y’all there!
