On July 29 at 1:30 PM, delve into the Storyteller's Toolbox in this interactive 35-minute video on Easton Library's website from master storyteller Diane Edgecomb at https://easton.sals.edu. You'll learn how to create characters using Diane's technique of Voice and Body Signatures and end up Imagining your way right into a Story- learning how to retell a folktale along the way. The fun includes a Virtual Visit by a very saucy Goldilocks as she coaches us on how to tell her very famous story! The performance is for the entire family, especially ages four and up.
