That was the challenge of hundreds who attended my performance at the Kennedy Center in NYC a little while back.
Non-verbal expressions are a key part of a storyteller’s art. On that occassion attendees guessed the emotion suggested by my hand and my body movements.
Now, lets have you try it. Here’s what you’ll find from the Kennedy Center web site:
- This multimedia activity is especially appropriate for grades 3-4. Learn how master storyteller Kala Jojo uses gesture and movement to create vivid pictures for his listeners.
See if you can determine what emotion or mood he is conveying with his body! - Now, try it with faces!
Enjoy and leave some comments on the show. Imagine this activity live! It really gets cranked up when the students and the teachers begin to get into the act!
‘Till next time, keep tellin’ stories. Kala
