With the theme ‘The Heart of Story’, StoryFest Online 2020 invites audiences to experience the power of stories and be inspired to build their own community as they listen to the messages at the core of stories.
The Festival features Local Commissions – the Young Storytellers Showcase, ‘A Dance of Stories’ presenting emerging storytelling talents, and The Singapore Showcase, ‘The Heart of Story’ featuring local storytellers and familiar faces from the Singapore spoken word scene.
Our Family Shows promise a participatory treat for all, with plenty of singalong stories and talking animals to look forward to!
The different facets of storytelling will be presented through various presentations by practitioners from Singapore – from exploring mandala storytelling methods, to devising your own personal narrative and discovering anthropomorphism in Literature. The Festival will explore the world of puppets with ‘A Puppeteer’s Journey’ – an interview celebrating a pioneer puppetry expert from Singapore.
The Festival celebrates the spirit of ‘The Heart of Story’ with free online storytelling videos to inspire conversation, the sharing of spoken stories and the creation of a community that is actively engaged in oral tradition.
