Chennai Storytelling
Festival 2014 occurred
on 7-9 Feb 2014 This
webpage features links
to recordings of the webcasts of
some of the Workshops. (On
Day 3, people participated in
both Workshops via
videoconference.) *** The CSF 2014 Workshop
schedule is here. Photos are here. An article about the
Festival is here. Additional info about the
Festival is here. *** Much of the audio in the
below-mentioned recordings is not very clear. Running the sound out of one's
computer via a cable into an external speaker might make these recordings
more listenable. Soon I would be posting
on this page some ideas regarding how the audio and video could be improved
when using this kind of technology. The CSF 2014 Workshops
not mentioned here either were not recorded due to some human or
technological error, or the audio or video quality of the recordings were so
poor as to make it seem not helpful to make the recordings available. *** Day 1: Friday 7 February 2014 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf3-OAFSjiQ
(2 hours, 2 minutes). Opening talks by Dr Premeela Gurumurthy and Susan Perrow. *** Day 2: Saturday 8 February -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k_cdu3uDRc (1 hour, 22 minutes). Storytelling by Rajammal, Alli, and Arulmozhi.
Translation by Jeeva Raghunath. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_rGaJZOXVM (1 hour, 9 minutes). Storytelling by Rajammal and Alli.
Translation by Jeeva Raghunath. *** Day 3: Sunday 9 February -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV-ZC9wyDes (3 hours, 14 minutes). Workshop on "Visual Art Therapy, and Storytelling and
Healing". Conducted by Susan
Anand. Lavanya Prasad, a
professional storyteller, participated via videoconference from Bangalore. During the small-group-discussion
segment of the Workshop, Ms Lavanya and participants in the hall in Chennai
formed a small group: they discussed the puppets they had created, from
1-hour-28-minutes onward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuCZkU9BK9Q
(2 hours, 41 minutes). Workshop on "Building a Web of Trust in Storytelling Events". Conducted by Deepa Kiran (first 30
minutes). Then, Workshop on "Creating and Telling
Inspirational, Transformative, and Healing Stories". Conducted by Eric Miller. Dhara Kothari, founder of
the Katha Kosa storytelling organsation, participated in these Workshops via
videoconference from Mumbai. Note: In the future, I am
hoping a split-screen configuration could be used in similar events, so
viewers could see both parties (in a two-party videoconference) at the same
time. *** *** *** For general interest: *** To initiate a "Google Hangout On Air" (a videoconference that
is webcasted for others to observe): Go to https://plus.google.com/hangouts and follow the prompts. *** To join a "Google Hangout On Air" videoconference for the
first time: If possible, please use
the browsers, Google Chrome, or Safari. For this process, one
needs to have a gmail ID. If you might not already have a gmail ID, perhaps
you could create one. From your gmail ID,
please send a request to join the current videoconference to
info@storytellinginstitute.org . If a "seat"
might be available, you would then receive an invitation to join the
videoconference. (The maximum number of computers that could join this type
of videoconference is nine.) To accept an invitation
to join a Google Hangout videoconference for the first time: On the upper right corner
of your gmail page, there may be an image of a bell. If you might NOT see an image of a bell, look for a 3x3
set of squares in this same area of the page (the upper right corner). If you
locate this 3x3 set of squares, click on it. Then click on
"Google+". You would be guided to join "Google+". Once
you might join, it seems a bell might then be visible. If you might see an image
of a bell, click on it. Then you might see the invitation to join a Google
Hangout videoconference. Click on the invitation,
and you would be asked to join Google Hangout. Follow the instructions
regarding how to do so. You may be asked to download a plug-in. Finally, hopefully, you
would be prompted to accept the invitation, and you would enter the videoconference. *** Contact: Dr Eric Miller, Director,
