Storytelling is a dream job for many and seems easy to be one. And Guy Hutchins, a professional storyteller from U.K., was 'dreamworks' in animation er..motion! His fluid word/body language talk in a recently held workshop in collaboration with Story Trails at British Council, was a world beyond the ordinary.
Creative imagination that can weave a bizarre fantasy world, where the animate in the inanimate is a possibility-Where the story wins the hearts of young and younger spirited listeners and humbles itself to children's faith and preserves it without preaching morals-this is the storyteller's world as unraveled in the workshop.
Being a world traveler and a keen observer of folk culture makes Guy's stories existential. His probing of why a particular thing/animal happens to be the way it is today, recreates history in a new story avatar.
The shape that the incidents form in sequence in order to lead an effect for the main plot of the journey are his story trails.
Life is too short for revisiting and retelling the histories from the past-but the tales, the epics, the dramas and the many other oral traditions that one can pass down to the generations that follow can be newly revisited, thanks to such story workshops.
Making magic real in a child's world is possible only if we start believing in them. Being a child all over again would someday be a dream come true.Isn't i t?
