We Tell
Stories is a multi-ethnic group of artists that seeks to educate, nurture,
and strengthen communities by reconnecting young audiences with the ancient
powers of storytelling and theatre.
Our goals:
Our
stories are classic myths, legends, fairy tales, and literature that represent
humanity’s collective wisdom. These stories are chosen and adapted to elucidate
values of compassion, humor, valor, and responsibility that express the
universality of the human condition.
We perform
in an extemporaneous style much akin to children at play. In so doing, the
process of theatre is revealed. Audience members play integral roles in every
story and kids walk away saying, “I can do that!”
Through the We Tell Stories Process of performance and workshops,
we access different modes of learning, and discover a sense of intimate
community. Our Process is based on trust and support—the very elements that
engender a harmonious atmosphere where individual empowerment and meaningful
learning can take place.
