In an era saturated with creative content, all vying for the same audience, the age-old tradition of oral narrative storytelling still survives. The reason, says, Usha Venkatraman, founder of the Mumbai Storytellers Society, is because “stories will never grow old. It is up to the storytellers to reinvent themselves to suit the times.”
Recently in Tiruchi to conduct a workshop for students and teachers at Santhanam Vidyalaya, Usha was in her element as she explained science concepts through stories to students of Classes 7 and 8, and trained educators on how to use storytelling in the classroom.
