Today we had a workshop which researched on traditional storytelling and new media was inspired by the idea that design in modern society could learn from the culture. It was interesting although I was a little bit nervous at the beginning.
After introducing the Scottish traditional storytelling, we tried to say something with Scottish style- strike a match and finish the story till it go out. That was dramatic.

After that, we were required to choose one individual topic according as culture background and shared together in group. After that we defined the context via one word. Finally, we had a big communication. Topics like "Emotion and family" were popular.
After lunch, we were engaged in another big task- to be a storyteller. Firstly, we spent 15 min to read a story and then painted 6 points on paper like cue card. Then, we changed the story each other with different methods. The tutor asked us to finish an abstract painting which included all the context of the story and then displayed them. (No words, no details, just some colorful symbols) Frankly, it was hard to choose the elements what you needed.
Finally, we shared stories like a professional storyteller. I was happy because I used role play with my fellow which was successful!
Summary: I learnt how to transfer massive words to be images which is useful to retell something. Story = organized ideas.
