Story Studio 2

Story Studio was brought to another new level when my wife and I spent our recent holidays with Serene's family in December 2022 in Perth. Thanks to the ingenuity and creativity of our grandchildren, Nathan and Gracie.

Ever since our visit to Perth in April 2019 (Read here), story telling session has become a "Must Do Item" of every reunion with the grandchildren.

Just over a mere six months since we had the previous Story Studio in June 2022 (Read here), Gracie has made tremendous progress in the style and content of her presentation.

Nathan on the other hand has slowly outgrown his childhood phase and moved onto his teenager phase. He now prefers to talk about his personal real live experiences and encounters rather than purely fairly tale story.

Almost nightly at 8.30pm, only exclusive patrons (the grandparents) would be allowed to enter by producing invitation tickets specially prepared by the two story tellers. Studio would commence

Story telling was interactive involving both the story teller and the listeners. Gracie took great pain to prepare sketches and drawings in advance for presentation during the actual story telling sessions. These sketches and drawings are meant for option selection by the listeners as the story telling progressed to different sites and "Portals".  Whenever listeners are confronted with powerful guards and obstacles, listeners were asked to throw dice to secure minimum points to overpower them. What incredible way to add fun to the story telling!

The content of these nightly sessions reminded us of the thrilling Avengers sequel where each new story was a continuation of the previous stories.

Like most Avengers movies, the story ended with the bad guys killed and the people who survived lived happily ever after!
