Theatrical Storytelling From Page to Stage： An Applied Study in Writing and Performing Techniques

Storytelling is an important performing art. Attracting theater practitioners and audiences are the main targets. Successful narrator communication is one of the biggest challenges even when theatres facilitate communication with scenery, lighting and costumes etc., as the performance depends primarily on the text and narrator for successful expression. This study views the most important techniques to create a well-made story at both text and performance levels. The researcher begins differentiating storytelling, imitation and characterization, as this understanding assists the objective of this study, which is to determine specific techniques to achieve successful communication with an audience. This research highlights elements which distort story structure; including immersion in narrative without incident description, identified as the most dangerous element due to description being essential to create suspense.1 Text condensation is also crucial. A good writer uses his pen more for deletion than addition. Repeated reading and deletion to condense the story to its optimal is vital. Also included are techniques for good text rhythm in addition to production of captivating beginnings. Further techniques to raise audience attention in text and event building, as well as to determine conflict and types, narrator language use and the structure of the diagnostic viewer, finally, mastering story ending techniques are provided. At performance level, this research provides techniques in creativity prologue, good story rhythm, body language and eye contact together with prop （object） use; all of which enable the narrator to capture and retain audience attention throughout. This research concludes with recommendations on how to achieve a good storytelling performance.

The emergence of digital storytelling and multimedia technology in improving Greek language teaching and learning： Challenges versus limitations

Greek schools are witnessing widening gaps between traditional definitions and applications of literacy, which include reading, writing and speaking in terms of exercises from school textbooks and contemporary literacy practices like digital storytelling, interactive multimedia use and online communications. Language and literacy teachers of primary education are called upon daily to bridge these contradictions through pedagogical and textual choices they make in classroom teaching. This paper reports an experimental study with children of the fifth grade at public Greek schools to apply modernist literacy approaches involving digital storytelling and online communication in improving language skills. The paper analytically presents the didactic examples of a thematic union within the framework of the Greek curriculum and the alternative assessment for the experimental teaching on digital technologies among mother tongue learners. The findings have implications for teacher＇s and student＇s education and also for the integration of a pedagogical-technological content of curriculum within the continuing debate of being culturally and equally literate in today＇s education.

Visualization of Landscape Changes in a 3D Environment Using the Storytelling Approach—The Example of the City of Pristina

This study proposes a detailed concept of how landscape changes can be transferred and communicated in a 3D environment using the storytelling approach. In 2018, Mocnik and Fairbairn argued that maps are good for representing a geographic space but texts have a better benefit than maps for telling a story [1]. A framework is presented on how a landscape change can be retrieved out of textual descriptions. A prototype of a 3D model with a projection on top of it was developed. The case study tells the story of the landscape change in the city of Pristina. The key element of the visualization is a timeline. Several media like cadastral maps, orthophotos, texts, graphics, and background sound are used and combined in an animated light show and the visualization was evaluated within a user study.

Museum architecture as spatial storytelling of historical time： Manifesting a primary example of Jewish space in Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum

Museums commonly adopt storytelling in their interpretive framework by use of audiovisual techniques to convey the meanings contained within artifacts. In addition to audiovisual mediation, this study demonstrates the idea that museum architecture itself can also be re,larded as a medium of spatial storytelling, specifically of historical time, which is manifested spatially and cognitively for museum visitors. The Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum （YVHHM） in Jerusalem is considered a spatial storytelling tool that successfully establishes an architectural dimension and thus displays, reveals, and interprets historical time during the Holocaust. The research method of this study is drawn from a case study of YVHHM and consists of a Literature review of schotarship in museum studies about artifacts and exhibition techniques of storytelling. The study concludes that the architectural space and landscape of YVHHM create a primary example of Jewish space and its specific engaeements with historical time by use of spatial layout and circulation, spatial form and symbolization, and spatial qualities of lighting and material. These components construct a tangjble, sacred, and cultural artifact; such artifact inherits, preserves, and records Yad Vashem, Modern Jerusalem, and the Nation of Israel and is an ideal physical and spiritual ＂home＂ for Jewish people worldwide.

Visual storytelling of Song Ci and the poets in the social–cultural context of Song dynasty

Song Ci is treasured in traditional Chinese culture,which indicates social and cultural evolution in ancient times.Despite the efforts by historians and litterateurs in investigating the characteristics of Song Ci,it is still unclear how to effectively distribute and promote Song Ci in the public sphere.The complexity and abstraction of Song Ci hamper the general public from closely reading,analyzing,and appreciating these excellent works.By means of a set of visual analysis methods,e.g.the spatiotemporal visualization,we exploit visual storytelling to explicitly present the latent and abstractive features of Song Ci.We apply straightway visual charts and lighten the burden of understanding the stories,in order to achieve an effective public distribution.The effectiveness and aesthetics of our work are demonstrated by a user study of three participants with different backgrounds.The result reveals that our story is effective in the distribution,understanding,and promotion of Song Ci。

Architecture as spatial storytelling:Mediating human knowledge of the world,humans and architecture

Since the 1960s,architecture has been interpreted by Structuralism as a system of signs,which results in the problem that architecture is isolated from humans and the world.In contrast with this idea,this paper demonstrates that architecture is designed as spatial storytelling to mediate human knowledge of the world,humans and architecture.The research method consists of an original survey of meaning and interpretation drawn from the fields of philosophy,linguistics,hermeneutics,humanistic geography,narrative theory,psychology,architectural theory and museology,in combination with the researcher’s personal perception and experience.By employing three elements-materials,configuration and time-to conduct parallel analysis of components of the world,humans and architecture,this paper contributes to an original theoretical model for analysing the idea of architecture as spatial storytelling.Moreover,this study concludes that,since it is constructed of meaningful materials,meaningful configuration and meaningful time,architecture is a form of spatial storytelling,which mediates human knowledge of the world,humans and architecture,thus shaping human intellectual record both tangibly and intuitively.Therefore,the fact that architecture is connected with humans and the world has been demonstrated by spatial storytelling,while also being carried forward from generation to generation.
