Storytelling Theory and Practice

Professor 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.
