This is the official FB page of "DISC" Dutch International Storytelling Centre. What is ‘Storytelling’?
A ‘Storyteller’ is someone who stands in front of other people and tells a story. The Craft of Storytelling:
It is a traditional oral craft; started by cave men and cave women, handed over for generations, improved and polished over centuries and that keeps its roots within any culture, anywhere, all over the world. Traditionally the Craft is used in 4 fields:
The Storyteller Entertainer
The Sto
ryteller Educator
The Storyteller Carer
The Storyteller Historian
Of course, often these fields are combined in someway.
“DISC” focuses on the Craft.�

Are you (or do you know) a Storyteller who is a (near) native speaker of Spanish? DISC is looking for a storyteller, who can tell stories in Spanish fluently. It’s for an event during Children’s Book Week (between 7 -12 Oct) in The Hague, at a school. Exact date is to be discussed, and will probably be one morning or one afternoon. Budget available! If you are interested drop me a line: francine.storytelling@outlook. com

Anyhow, Arnold is from the open call.

So, how did we get started?
Well, it all started with a trip to Edinburgh and a visit to the Scottish Storytelling Centre...
The Dutch International Storytelling Centre was founded in January 2013 by Storyteller Michael Driebeek van der Ven.
But 3 years earlier Michael, together with his companion Caja van der Poel, performed at the famous Edinburgh Festival. One day they were invited at the Scottish Storytelling Centre and immediately felt at home; such an inspiring place filled with stories, soul and wonder; a true Heart of Storytelling!
Back home Michael searched for a place just like that in the Netherlands but he could not find it anywhere. All across the country he found the most wonderful, inviting and promising storytelling initiatives but none of those made him feel the way he had felt in Edinburgh.
“Than I'll set it up myself.” he said.
In Capetown he met Japanese Storyteller Norihiro Terazawa and climbed Table Mountain with him. Straight up, through heavy fog and humid air, they climbed their way to the top. There they were treated to a perfect ocean view. On this crossroad of Oceans and Africa, it became clear to them: "Let's build this home to the stories together!".
The Hague, with its International character, became the perfect setting for DISC. At Johannes Court, with its good spirited Brothers of St. John and its blessed atmosphere, and Francine de Graaf joined as associate storyteller, now, DISC has found a perfect home...
