Always Have a Story Ready ... You Don't Know When You'll Need It!
During the first part of 2002, I completed three weeks of jury duty. So, what does that have to do with storytelling? Part of picking the jury members included a questionnaire that we each had to fill out for the judge and the lawyers. Under occupation, I included “storyteller” along with my other careers. When the lawyer for the prosecution questioned me in front of the court, he asked me quite a few questions about storytelling. I don’t know how many of you have ever served on a jury, but one quantity over which you don’t have any control is time – as the bailiff said, “Court time isn’t real time.” As we jurors spent many hours waiting in the jury room, I was, as a storyteller, asked to tell stories. Fortunately, knowing that other storytellers have come to the rescue in other situations, I was prepared – and they loved it!

White-capped mountainsides or slime-coated rubble heaps? What have you got in your teeth? Is your mouth landscaped with popcorn seeds and candied nuts, slivers of caramelized wafers and a fine grating of sugared jelly? Between your cheek and gum, is there a dried-up riverbed of coca-cola thirsting for the spring renewal? Are there potato -chip ridges and cherry pie lattices bridging the gaps between your teeth? And does the lining of your tongue harbor not-so-distant ghosts of milk chocolate nougat? If so, you may be eligible as a host for Thorbjørn Egner&#8217;s famous duo of decay, Karius and Baktus.

It's Time for TELLABRATION!
What do you call an event that is a worldwide celebration of storytelling taking place at the same time on the same weekend? Why <B> TELLABRATION!</B>, of course. J. G. Pinkerton, a Connecticut yarn spinner, originated this international event as a means of building community support for storytelling. He formed the idea in 1987 and by the fall of 1988, the event was launched by the Connecticut Storytelling Center in six locations across the state. The volunteer network of 14 producers, 35 storytellers, and 102 production staffers worked together to give more than 1,000 story listeners a night to remember. And that was just the beginning.

The Dilemma of Storytelling ... What Is It?
When I refer to the <B>Dilemma of Storytelling</B> I am actually asking the question, “What is it?” Storytelling, which has been around since caveman days, comes in so many flavors, touches so many people and lives, and is so compelling that it is impossible to define. When I tell people, “I am a storyteller,” unless they have heard a storyteller in a school, library, festival, museum, and/or concert there is immediate confusion. “Do you read stories to children?” “Do you write stories?” “What kind of stories?” and “You mean that people tell stories for a living?” are but a few of the questions asked. And, even storytellers who perform can’t agree on a definition of storytelling and storytellers. In this column, I share some of my ideas and the ideas of other storytellers on this perplexing topic.
