Really great post and information! I actually have a friend who has her master’s degree in storytelling. I struggled, at first, to grasp what she did, but I can say that she spent many hours reading and researching events to then “perform” through storytelling. She’s amazing, and doesn’t seem forced in any way (I’m ashamed to say that I thought it would be). I’ll have to share your article with her!

This article immediately made me think of a wonderful book I just finished: “The Hakawati” by Rabih Allemeddine. The entire book is about the power of storytelling – mostly oral storytelling. It’s about how we use stories to understand the world and define our place in it. It’s about how stories serve a variety of functions that prove vital to living a healthy, fully-realized life. It’s pretty amazing. I highly recommend it.
