What are the elements of a good story, and of a story well-told? What is it about story-telling, especially oral storytelling, that taps so deeply into human feeling, understanding, and memory? This course will give students a foundational understanding and appreciation for the art and science of telling stories out loud, discussing the symbolic and mythological vocabulary which account for the power of story. Students in this course will engage with the storytelling craft like never before, opening the way for a lifetime of the intense joy experienced with communities established around sacred stories.
