Nanoplex Teacher Twilight Workshop: Artful Storytelling With Kamishibai.
-
Thu 14 March 2013 // 16:30
(Thursday 14th March / 4.30pm - 7pm / wine and nibbles / £15)
This is a great opportunity to work with designer-makers Kevin Dennis and Sylvia Zidek from Spoke'n'Chain in the creative exploration of narratives that is Kamishibai; traditional Japanese picture storytelling. You will gain practical ideas about using Kamishibai resources and session ideas that can be delivered as part of the curriculum or anywhere storytelling takes place.
The Kamishibai workshop will inspire teachers, play workers and librarians to creatively explore the idea of the Kamishibai storytelling and it's impact on learning, both as an entertaining medium and as a powerful pedagogical tool.
The session/s will explore how to develop multiple narratives and hands-on approach to engage learners through:
-the history of Kamishibai
-narrative techniques
-sequential drawing and storytelling
-ideas for transforming stories
-the opportunity to create a story in detail
A Kamishibai storyteller would typically ride on a bicycle from town to town and tell stories using picture cards in a small theatre on his bicycle. It became especially popular from the 1920s to the 1950s and developed out of a
combination of traditional picture storytelling forms and a national infatuation with silent film, which was actually narrated in Japan, and so kamishibai took on the characteristics of silent film dialogue and stage set aesthetics.
So when making Kamishibai think less in terms of creating a large picture book and more in terms of directing a small-scale theatre production or film.
