Storytelling - Serious Art or Child's Play

CBI, Goethe-Institut Dublin, Poetry Ireland and Storytellers of Ireland
Storytelling – Serious Art or Child's Play?
"The ability to imagine is an indispensable pre-requisite for understanding not only what is heard,
but especially what is read.
Literary education has to do not only with reading-readiness, but in the same way with imaginative ability."
Join us for a talk and discussion with Prof. Kristin Wardetzky
Professor Wardetzky is a lecturer at the Institute of Theatre Pedagogics at the University of the Arts in Berlin. Her special areas of research are 'Theory and history of storytelling as a form of art', 'Theory of fairy tales' and 'Theatre for Children and Young Adults'. She was the leader of the award-winning Berlin project "Speechless? A language-support project for children from immigrant families", which introduces children to literature through the telling of fairy tales.
