The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators presents "Words Take Wing: Adapting Old Tales for New Audiences," with "Beauty and the Beast" Storytellers, Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss. This event will be in English.
Mitch Weiss and Martha Hamilton will tell a few stories and explain how they take a folktale and bring it to life for today's audiences. They will demonstrate the process they use to help raconteurs and writers find their own voice by having participants do an exercise called 'Playing With the Story.' In addition, they will show the brief DVD that accompanies their book "Children Tell Stories: Teaching and Using Storytelling in the Classroom."
Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss are a husband and wife team who have been telling stories together as 'Beauty & the Beast Storytellers' since 1980. As a result of their extensive experience in teaching students of all ages to tell stories, they have produced several award winning books and recordings including "Children Tell Stories: Teaching" and "Using Storytelling in the Classroom."
