from written narrative to oral story-telling

Over the past six months, I have been attending Zoom meetings of the Ottawa Storytelling group and more recently, Storytellers Toronto.  I've heard excellent stories told by those who have honed their craft.  The range of stories told at each meeting is always impressive - fables, fairytales, personal anecdotes, ballads, and more.  I'm learning how to morph written stories from my memoir to oral stories.  It's a fascinating process. I'm grateful for those who have been willing to listen to the recreated stories and provide feedback.
