About Story Weavers
StoryWeavers.Org is just a
group of everyday individuals who love to listen to someone Orally “ Spin a
Story” for the purpose of entertainment, enlightenment and socialization.
There
are many Professional Storytelling Guilds , Festivals, Workshops, etc that
have been organized for many years. They currently hold worldwide events
where thousands of people get together for the sheer pleasure of the “Art”
called Storytelling.
Our collective dream is to bring this Art back into our
Community. We hope to bring in enough sponsors and grants to Host our own
Storytelling Events monthly. Another goal of ours is to educate both adults
and children alike to learn to be their own “Storyteller”
We
are working with That! Texas Magazine to bring the community
into awareness of our goals and aspirations. They are sponsoring a
full page for articles, biographies, event calendar, etc. toward
this goal.
We are also working with the Texas Commission on
the Arts for grant money to bring their “qualified” tellers
into the area schools, festivals, and monthly meetings we host.
Our goal is to get local individuals and businesses
to commit to a monthly donation ( or one time donations are also
gladly accepted ) to keep these events FREE to the community.
We are just “giving birth” to this Organization and
would love to have input, ideas and help from interested persons
who wish to be involved.
Anyone wishing to join our efforts can contact us
through this web site or by phone and we will discuss how you can
help make these dreams into reality.
Volunteers can help organize events, seat at the
events, become amateur Storytellers and spend 6-8 minutes “spinning
a tale” to a captive audience, or help with mail outs , etc and be
a right hand to those who are working to make it happen. |
