Who? The narrator? Oh yes...that's me!

What have I gotten myself in to?

So...before I came to this 'place', I was told that there was a possibility of 'story-telling'. Didn't think much of it...got here and now a week goes by. The director of foreign languages, who is the coordinator of this summer camp, approached me 24 hours ago to say, "Hey! The story-telling is a go and it's tomorrow night!"

Wow.

Now, my Canadian crew and I, got our gutso together and performed the story, "No Clean Clothes" by Robert Munsch. It was fantastic! We kicked butt! I was the narrator and I had a crew of 10 actors/actresses who performed the actions throughout the story...again...stay tuned for pics! The looks on the children's faces was superb! I think they really enjoyed it.

The children, you ask?? Oh right...we told the story in front of the whole school...all 300 children. yes...I was the narrator. Too boot...we did it in the cafeteria, had scanned the book on to powerpoint, which led to end up being too small for the '300' children to see the words, yet the narrator and actors kicked butt! Truly...one of the greatest story-telling experiences I've ever done. Thank you to my crew!

Did I mention that we threw this together in 2 hours. Fan-ta-bu-lous!

As of now, we haven't heard a lot of feedback, however, the director that that the book may need to go down a level. We'll see what the Chinese staff and students say tomorrow.

Again...we kicked butt!
