Student comments on Dr. Seuss class:  "Loved the discussion, examples, laughs, insight...; Gets your attention and holds it. Really expanded my thoughtfulness...; Excellent class-one of my favorites."

 

WOW! We had lovely compliments about your program today. Keeping that many folks on a sunny afternoon is a testament to your expert story telling.

Here, Les Schaffer is telling and discussing the African Dilemma Tale, 'The Lizard in the Fire" at the recent Chennai (India) Storytelling Festival. My session starts at around 1:04 on the video and goes for about 20 minutes. I'll be teaching a new course on Dilemma Tales at the Spring/Summer Session of the Midlothian (Virginia) LifeLong Learning Center. And thanks to Eric Miller for including me in this wonderful event.
