CDS

In each story circle, each teller will prompt the next teller the American Indian way, by handing her a talking stick.

As announced here before, on Saturday May 17 at 10 AM PDT the Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) is proposing a reflection on storytelling in virtual environments in the form of a panel in Second Life. This will be part of the celebration of the International Day for Sharing Life Stories which will have happened the day before, May 16.

We added one person to our excellent line-up of speakers: Dale Jarvis, storyteller, folklorist and performer will be in-world - and in Canada in RL. Other speakers logging in from Spain, China, New Zealand and the US, and covering areas from multimedia journalism to virtual performance.

Joe Lambert (Director, Center for Digital Storytelling) and Ana Boa-Ventura (PhD Candidate, University of Texas at Austin) will be moderating.

Come join us!
