WHY? STORYTELLING?
"Storytelling of this kind is one of the things that makes us human, it’s some kind of transcendental experience that no other creature can enjoy. Human beings in the past, from all over the world in all different times, used the art of the story to communicate intimately with each other.
For most of our time on this earth, telling stories has been the only way of communicating our histories and values, our hopes and our dreams, and the experiences that make us who we are.
In today’s fast paced age of instant digital knowledge and entertainment, we tend to speak with other people less and less. When was the last time you laughed with a stranger, or were moved to tears by someone you’d never met before? There is a tendency for individuals to isolate themselves in today’s world, why bother really getting to know those around you when you can connect to the entire planet at the click of a button?
This is unhealthy, and we want to combat it in some small way by repopularising human to human communication. Above all else there’s just such a rich beauty in hearing an engaging story told well, which I do think we’re losing in society. "
