The CSA is a forum for training its members, in ever-deeper ways, 1) To be Storytellers, and to do Storytelling work with groups (including helping group-members to discuss, draw, find, compose, and tell stories), and 2) To train others to be Storytellers, and to do Storytelling work with groups. All of this training is geared towards helping participants in storytelling events to develop their abilities to articulate and share their ideas and feelings, both creatively and rationally. This webpages linked-to above are meant for CSA members. If you are presently not a member, please join before viewing any CSA webpages other than this one. CSA annual membership is Rs 600. Members are in an e-mail discussion group ( chennai-storytelling-association@googlegroups.com ), and can attend monthly meetings. In these meetings, storytelling activities around Chennai -- and materials on the CSA webpages -- are discussed; and members can tell stories (10-minute time-limit) and receive coaching from each other. CSA members will be able to add their comments on the CSA webpages -- just as soon as I can figure out how to set up this kind of interactivity. In the meantime, CSA members, please e-mail e-mail your thoughts to me or to the group -- especially please suggest what might be useful next. Last updated: 28 June 2011. |
