Grizzly and Cuddly – Stories About Bears –
Free Online Storytelling
Have you encountered a real bear or been enchanted by a lovable fictional bear? Do you have a Teddy Bear on your bed or having pride of place somewhere in your house? Have you gleaned some wisdom from Winnie the Pooh or enjoyed Marmalade sandwiches like Padding Bear and the Queen? Perhaps a bear from Nordic, European, Asian or American Folklore captured your imagination.
Enjoy a variety of short stories by people from different parts of the world.
If you would like to tell a prepared story of 5-6 minutes, email Christine Carlton at storyaus@gmail.com to be put on the list to tell a story. Your story could be a personal story, myth, legend, folktale, or contemporary fictional story. The focus is to be about a Bear or a group of Bears.

This workshop is based on Karen Chace’s award-winning book Story by Story: Creating a Student Storytelling Troupe and twenty years producing and teaching a successful storytelling program. Using innovative and original written and interactive activities, Karen will access the physicality of your story characters, enrich your story landscape, and help you connect with the sensory aspects in your story. These new tools will enhance your personal story work, presentations, and residencies. All the activities build upon each other and are easily incorporated into other areas of your work. Teachers will also find these activities especially useful in the classroom to assist their students with writing activities. Come ready to play!
