Celebrate World Storytelling Day!
Come free your imagination and nourish your spirit! MoonShadow Stories invites you to an intimate and exclusive afternoon and evening of oral storytelling for children and adults at The Arts House on 17 March 2012 as part of its commemoration of International World Storytelling Day (held each year during the Spring Equinox).
Stories Day and Night (2012) follows from our first storytelling marathon conducted in 2010. For 2012, we have tales for the young, the young-at-heart, and mature listeners in three different programmes held back-to-back. In addition this year for the first time, we will encourage the audience during the evening show to share their own stories and celebrate the joy of communicating with others. So come enter our realm of story and we guarantee you a most engaging and heart-warming experience!

9 January 2012 (Mon), Uncategorized

The first is an online essay about the qualities of an introvert: apparently, introverts are quiet because their brains are hardwired to absorb a lot of information all at once and do not need the same degree of external stimulation as an extrovert, lest [...]

Last Sunday, I went looking for my last Christmas presents. I entered only one mall. One department store, two shops and two hours later, I had [...]
