Autor Penelope Starren Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2017 – vârsta ani
The Radical Act of Community Storytelling is everything it claims in the title. It is the story of a radical step of faith taken by Penelope Starr to open her life by bringing community storytelling to her community. It is the story of voices that often go unheard having the opportunity to speak and be heard. And it is about community building from start to finish ... including everything any radical would need to start a community storytelling organization in any community.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
The Radical Act of Community Storytelling reveals the gutsy nature of Penelope Starr who creates a space for others to find and reveal their own gutsiness in front of a live audience. She is an evangelist to her faith in storytelling, which changes the lives of the storyteller as well as those captured by the stories being told. More than a “how to”, Penelope takes the reader on an odyssey of “how it was”…do as you please!
—Diana Leonard, PhD; Author, Introduction to the Speech Making Process, Director of Public Speaking, The University of Arizona
Penelope has penned a terrific primer for those inspired to raise their own voices and create their own community storytelling and, of course, a wonderful collection of unforgettable stories. Penelope is an evangelist for storytelling who preaches that truth is not simply stranger than fiction, it is more joyful, it is more compelling and it is more radically profound.
—David Fitzsimmons, nationally syndicated political cartoonist, columnist for the Arizona Daily Star
Penelope Starr writes in the intimate voice of a friend with such humor and vitality that you want to hang out with her beyond the length of this excellent read. Even if your own passion has little to do with producing a story-telling event, you’ll want to finish Starr’s exhilarating story about creating connection, acceptance of the “other,” and growing compassionate community through the brave and sometimes radical act of telling your story.

Recenzii
“More than just a how-to manual for apprentice producers and curators, The Radical Act of Community Storytelling is itself a collection of stories. Starr has artfully woven amusing anecdotes and cautionary tales into her DIY guide to illustrate, step by step, the process of developing a successful event. Even if you have no interest in producing events, you can’t help but laugh, cringe, worry, wonder, and celebrate right along with the author as she stumbles through creating Odyssey Storytelling, now one of America’s longest-running monthly community storytelling series.”
“Penelope Starr has given the storytelling world more than a road map for how to create and produce community storytelling events. It is a map with helpful “insets” of detailed how-to information, and marvelous stories that support what she has gleaned from ten years of research and experience. Penelope’s generous spirit also offers many forms and lists that guide any reader wishing to produce storytelling events that feed the community spirit.”
