Storytelling Theory and Practice Lecture by Brian Sturm. Rating: 10.0/10 (2 votes cast) Brian Sturm is a professor at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill who provides an innovative look at storytelling.
When we think of stories, we think of them as having certain characteristics: a beginning, middle, end, characters, progression and so on. But Sturm argues that storytelling provides something larger: a way of organizing information. He says we can look at these characteristics as dots of data on a screen, where the story is the way we connect the dots. Written? Kitten!
