What is Storytime for Grownups?

Storytime for Grownups is at its core, a protest.

We are protesting the loss for storytime as we grow up.

Who said only kids get to have story read to them!

Adults have the right to listen to stories too!

And so...Storytime for Grownups was born.

The Grownup version of Storytime is a little special...

But of course, grownups being grownups, need to have their own unique version of storytime.

Stories are how we humans find meaning and impose order on the chaos of life. It is also how we passed down knowledge and wisdom before we had books and writing.

Therefore, Storytime for Grownups is also an ode to to this. Aside from walking away with the pleasure of good storytelling, the session is also meant to be a space where stories can be used as a medium to confront and resolve matters that might be too complex or daunting to digest otherwise.

So not only are the chosen stories more grown up, storytime for grownups is a also little more...hands on.

A key part of the Storytime for Grownups session is the fix-it exercise. Where the listeners of the story become storytellers themselves and try to find alternative resolutions for the conflicts in the story through dialogue and discussion.

We have two versions of the fix-it exercise. One for writers and one for non-writers.

Our chosen story:

On Children- The 6th family: talent

“Of the 9 stories in this book, not a single one of them is the kind of education success story that people want to see. Not single one of these stories will bring you joy. Every single one of the of them will probably make you feel irate and messed up inside. Despite this, these are true stories that have happened and are still happening, and probably continue to happen over and over..."

-Author, Wu Hsiao Le

On Children is a collection of true stories form Wu's time as a tutor in Taiwan. It talks about the dysfunction that has taken root in families due to societal pressures and a culture that reveres academic achievement above all else.

For this session, we will be listening to the sixth story: Talent.

什麼是大人的故事時間?

只有儿童才能享受故事时间?谁说的?

为什么长大后就再也没有人愿意讲故事给我们听了?

大人就不能听故事吗?

我们不服!我们要抗议!

大人也该有大人的故事时间。大人也有享受听故事的权力!

大人听故事的方法不一样

大人听故事怎么能跟小孩子听故事一样呢?

别以为听完就放你走,听完故事。。。就轮到你了。

什么意思?呵呵。

话说,故事在人类的历史里可是扮演了非常重要的角色。面对世间和人生的无常,人类能够透过故事找到定律。同事,故事也是我们在发明文字之前,传承知识与智慧的主要方法。

故事是很伟大的!

为了充分的发挥故事的伟大,大人的故事时间可不是个享受完故事就可以拍拍屁股走人的体验。我们希望能够透过故事帮助大家正视一些生活里太过复杂或敏感的问题。

所以说,大人的故事时间的一个很大的特点就是听完故事后的 ‘故事大改写’ 游戏

是的,听完故事的你将从听故事的人变成写故事的人。现实世界里的我们有着许多的无奈,却无力应对。但是在故事的世界里,作者大大就是真理!所以,请你把故事里,你看得不顺眼的东西改写吧!让故事世界里的角色代替现实生活的你,找到新的出口,找到美满结局的方向。

说不定你也会因此找到一些面对自己生活里的无奈的新的出路。

不觉得自己是当作者的料?没问题!

我们的‘故事大改写’ 游戏有分成: 作家版非作家版; 是个人人都可以玩的游戏!

我们选中的故事是...

你的孩子不是你的孩子 之 《第6个家:天赋》

“以下我写的九篇故事:没有一篇是普罗大众乐见的教育神话。 没有一篇看了感到喜悦。没有一篇看了心中不会乱糟糟的,甚至觉得烦。 然而,这些事情却是发生过。不仅却是发生过,极可能仍在发生...”

-作者 吴晓乐

这是一个什么样的故事呢?

这是一个被考试绑架的家庭故事。

这是一个家教老师的见证。

这本书里的每一个故事都是真实故事,没有任何虚构。

本次的故事时间,我们即将听的故事是第六篇的《天赋》。
