Routledge The Story Performance Handbook - Routledge

The Story Performance Handbook is a comprehensive guide designed to help adults master the essential skills of reading aloud, mediated storytelling, and storytelling. Organised sequentially from foundational techniques through to advanced practices, this handbook takes you from reading picture books aloud to creating and performing original stories. Each chapter builds progressively on previous skills, developing your ability to select, prepare, and deliver stories and poetry with confidence to any audience. Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some experience with story performance, you can start at the point that matches your current level and work through the material at your own pace. The structured approach ensures you develop competence in all aspects of storytelling, making this handbook an invaluable resource for educators, performers, librarians, and anyone seeking to engage audiences through the art of storytelling.
