Bell Fire Arts Collective was formed because the current members agreed there was a need in the community for a progressive and dynamic arts organization that could think globally while showcasing locally. Bell Fire Arts strives to look beyond the misrepresentations of ‘Adirondack isolationism’ by serving as a committed and passionate signal fire to all the diverse, inclusive, and exciting arts occurring here in our unique corner of the world and beyond. Writers, filmmakers, painters, storytellers, sculptors, and other vital artists are all celebrated and promoted on our website and through the varied presentations, readings, signings and exhibits sponsored by the Bell Fire Arts team throughout the Adirondack region.

Storytelling ideas & tips #2

How do we create and maintain our bond with the listener?

The first aim as a storyteller is to bring the listener along as you tell your story. To have  your listener keep listening all the way through the story to the end of the story.

One advantage in telling your stories to an audience is that you can often feel if your listeners are staying with you. Even better, in a Story Circle you can get direct feedback from your listeners.
