Listening for the Lexicon of Cultural Shift

Post author By Lorie Novak
Post date March 4, 2008
No Comments on Listening for the Lexicon of Cultural Shift

Hi everybody,

Here is an article that I found to be really forward thinking in that it’s a compilation of theory and thought from outside of traditional academia. It deals mainly with art, the artist, and the role of both in social change in the community and the larger cultural landscape. Please feel free to skip around to different subjects once you get through the introduction.

Story Circles

Learn how to facilitate story circles as developed by Roadside Theater

A Story Circle is 5-20 people sitting in a circle, telling stories or remembrances, led by a Story Circle facilitator. While the themes of Story Circles vary according to purpose, the methodology is the same for each Circle. All Story Circles have as a common objective the development of listening and verbal expression skills, plus a greater appreciation for the cultural gifts and talents of everyday people. All Story Circles should be as much about listening as they are about telling.

Next week, I will facilitate a story circle with you all. Please download handout and read before next week.
