  • Introduction

    The art of oral storytelling is an artistic expression that creates an inner imagery in the audience's imagination rather than displaying or dramatising actual images. Oral storytelling takes place as an open and direct interaction between the storyteller and the audience. The aim of this course is to provide a basic introduction to the art of oral storytelling, including its craft, tradition and function in contemporary forms of media expression. This course is suited for everyone wishing to express themselves verbally, either artistically or applied. The Art of Storytelling is a practical course.

    Applicants may be able to take this course as an individual course if there are vacant places.
