James Navé welcomes storyteller Lucinda deLorimier to the Twice 5 Miles Microphone. In the opening of this captivating interview, Lucinda dives into a provocative story about how a horrible swamp captures the moon from the sky. Of course, the moon got away, but the question is, how did the moon escape? Did the moon have help? Why did the swamp capture the moon in the first place? You'll find out when you listen to this show.
After her story, Lucinda and Navé dig deep into the subject of storytelling. They even give you tips on the practical things you can do, like where to look when telling a story to a large crowd. You'll also learn when to go into show mode before your show.
Unlike other art forms like painting, photography, or playing a musical instrument, storytelling is a skill you learned, starting with your first word when you were a baby. From there, you've been telling stories ever since and will continue to do so till the day you die. "Once upon a time, I was born, and then I lived a long life full of stories," you might say.
Of course, if you want to tell stories from the stage, in addition to telling stories in your everyday life, you'll appreciate the many tips Lucinda offers in this interview. After all, Lucinda's been in the storytelling world for many years, both on stage and teaching people in the classroom how to tell stories. So you're in good hands with Lucinda.
Finally, in this interview, you'll learn some early storytelling tidbits about The National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee, during the 70s and 80s. Many early storytellers are still on the stages, or as the world has it, on Zoom calls these days. So, if you have a desire to learn more about storytelling, listen to this show. You'll be glad you did.
