Storytelling is an emotional and intellectual journey wherein a narrator or performer or teller takes an audience through a new world that is experienced by words, movement, props and story aids. Storytelling has at its heart the story. The story is that unit of information that is a fictional account of event, a conflict, or a transformation. Stories are a way to code knowledge, pass on wisdom and advise. Storytelling allows us to access the deepest realms of our own subconscious and also the collective unconsciousness. It connects us to basic archetypes that can give us an understanding into our own true being and selves. This books connects the reader to the core of Indian storytelling.
