Storytelling: Take a Little Walk Bear

Throwback video. During the 3rd Philippine Literary Festival, I conducted a Storytelling Workshop with Darrel Marco and Audrey Anday as co-facilitators. The workshop was sponsored by my publisher, Lampara Books. Thanks to Chris Danger for the video!

I first heard Take a Little Walk Bear from Margaret Read McDonald back in 2002 during the 2nd Storytelling Conference in Singapore. I tell this story to end a storytelling session and to bid participants goodbye.

Storytelling at the Philippine Literary Festival 2015

I stumbled upon this video of a participatory storytelling technique I used in my workshop during the Philippine Literary Festival last August 30, 2015 at the Raffles Hotel. Participants of the workshop were teachers and my co-facilitators were Audrey Anday and Darrel Marco.



Here, I enjoined participants to play roles in the storytelling of The Day Juan Went Off to Seek His Fortune. Thanks to Christian Paul for posting the video on YouTube.
