Winter Storytelling Weekend hosted by NCSG in Fort Caswell, North Carolina

Come spend a weekend playing with the music and rhythm and poetry of storytelling. Melody is one part of music yes, just as words are part of a story but there is so much more! There is rhythm, refrains, tempo, dynamics, crescendos and rests… Oh my friends, the importance of silence. We will explore this fully. We need to leave space in our storytelling for our listeners to enter the story. Claude Debussy famously said, “Music is the space between the notes.”  I believe we can say the same for stories. Stories come alive in the silence between the words. You do not need to be a singer or play an instrument for that is not the music I am talking about (wonderful though it is!). We will be exploring the music that dwells at the heart of every story.
