Storytelling Theory and Practice
BackProfessor Brian Sturm presents storytelling as a way of organizing information, conveying emotions, and building community. A model of storytelling as altered state of consciousness (the story trance) is presented that inlcudes 16 portals to altered states. Three stories are told to illustrate the theoretical model: Truth and Story; What happens when you really listen; and The stone cutter. Storytelling ethics and the need for trust and truth are discussed.

....Then Truth and Story met their end when they were swallowed, as one, by diagram: the most boring, soul-sucking beast of all. Sir, you do not merely create diagrams; you think and speak in diagrams! How can you take the glory, and the wonder of the oldest artform in the world... and render it so drab and mundane? I'm a storyteller, passionate about my art; you committed a crime against my art! By the way, in the second story... what if the man fell asleep because the storyteller was crap?

tshnvr: Why would anyone take the time to make such a statement?

Interesting, but audio syncronization is broken after the first half.
