Yesterday, i heard from my new colleague who meeting at HQ level
she told me that management level do not understand WHY my unit (counselling and psychology unit) is doing this story telling project. The management level, the authority does not knowing WHY this should be implement as already 3 type of project being done, similary previously.
1. The Training of Trainers for Story Telling in December 2009
2. Story Telling competition among the children
3. The reading story activities
I asked my superior, my unit head in HQ, was it true? She was telling me yes, the management level did not know what's the difference concept and how it's work. she don't even know that there is such a nice puppet stage there, untill the project had been carried out.
I think i am upsad, i may exegerate a little bit about this responses.
but most important thing is, the management level do not understand about the concept and thought this is wasteless...it's a repeated things, and not workable. After telling my ALS members yesterday online discussion before Alex came
i am so unsatisfy, and try to type a post in FB
How Storrytelling Work in Therapeutic Way
aish....i should tag the particular person and let him read a little bit....
haha, it's my own good and manner way to let the specific group understand about this storytelling concept
i feel that i need to explain and tell
Melinda email me
she give me some ideas, and i started to perceived things in different aspects
maybe i need to learn and expand my write up skill in a good way
make it BLACK and WHITE, clear with aims, goals, objective, and / or expected outcomes for this result, the report should include videol, audio, or storyline was used.....etc
haiya...never ending paper work
seeing so much paperwork, my head start to "pening-pening" and got a lot of start coming out
i will see how can i do.
as i had attended Solution Focus Brief Counselling Therapy
i start to look at the problem as possible solution.
it's will work, and things will change.
this is the power of Positive Thinking, and the secrects will come along.........
Hurray........
feeling better now....

11.6.2010: first story telling project experience
sometimes, things x turning like what we expected
the story telling project start on 9.00 am, doing a simple exercise which is telling name and tell a favourite character/ story...then asked to sound it or act it...
then, follow by a simple movie clip on local story, Sang Kancil & Si Buaya
after that, the multimedia presentation was used to sing a song....song to sing along
9.30 am: ONE STOTY I KNOW
children sit in round and they told a story they know in their life
the children was in 11-12 years old, 25 of them
they start to tell what story they have, or in their mind
there is a dominat child, who love to control over the mike and sing song, telling story about "mat rempit", ghost, little ghost, and also love to link to his friends
the only complete story they know is Sang Harimau was get trapped, help by Si Tikus, Cinderella, Snow White
the time is earlier, is 10.10am
the children can't tell any story... ... they are too shy i guess
then i take over it.
i start to tell a story A MAN WHO HAD A DREAM
when i start to tell story, all of them seems quiet, the eyes full of expectation, and surprisingly, they can focus with me and what i say they can answer and give prompt feedback.
10.30am- break time
i stop the story, then i tell the children, if they wish to know what happends to the man in mosfortune journey next, come back earlier...they do
11.00am - story continue
11.15am - playing games in group.
SIMON SAY:- let them have moved around and play...
continue with another games
12.00pm: continue with my show again: i become the story teller again
i tell the story taffy and the magic bandage
i really used the plaster to seal the mouth of each child...then when the part, Taffy swim across the pool, i also asked the children do the same. at the end, when Tafft able to recognized the lie and the truth, and tear off the plaster from mouth, i also asked the children do the same.
just: this is the moment too much challenge come in, most of the child sleep on the floor, some of them keep running around, and shouting...and even small fight. (sigh~~~)
when the story i tell finished, my team members get over the mike
each of them rotate continue to tell story :)
i take rest... and prepared the puppet stage
suprisingly, in this children home, there is a puppet stage, u know?
it's a nice one... i didn't know that...until i had initial and run this project...
hmm... lunch break, the puppet show start, it's only work for 15 minutes...
the children was invited to do the puppet show if they want too
they are too shy, then i let them stop here...
i used music to play a game call "orchestra music conductor"
each of the child need to close his/her eyes and conduct the music accodingly
then, follow my final plan, the Alligator and Mary, the chicken in dark mode, with candle light
i find the children likes the dark environment and they really enjoy the candle from the glasses. hmmm... the challenge is they never stop quarrel and fight to own the small light
the alligator and mary cant be friend, they fight with each other. the worst scenario is the alligator slap and puch the head of the boy who role play as the chicken, and the boy return with great fight.
they said they never become friends...
i stop this activities, and then continue with big group activity
sing a song together, and watch the favorite show of them. Upin and Ipin.
closure...
before doing the closure, a small briefing about the project, the purpose, and hope the participants to enjoy...
well it's tough
but at least.. done.

storytelling project in children Home
actually i find a little bit uneasy at first
my workplace put whole burden on me and count on me to conduct a storytelling project in a home in this school holiday
suppose, i am not the one who do the write up for proposal
and till last minute
the person who do the write up just pass to me and "dissapear"
meaning the person who did the job are away, and let me to continue with the work...
time was given only not more thant 7 days
i am panic actually
i remember, when i am online fews day ago,
i had meet with Pris, and asked some of the questions
generate ideas from her, what can i do ( i already foresee i am going to lead this show, take the whole responsibility)
yesterday, when i am in the workshop with solution focused based counselling, my superior call and tell me to lead this. (my feeling is true)
then... how r???
i gotta do it no matter how....
what i am afraid is, my teamate in my workplace are unable to catch up the concept of story telling and not as energetic as my ALS members who is so lovely and willing to contribute.
it's a fear, a deep tension in myself
i practice relaxation breathing, in and out, to let myself cool down.
figure out, WHAT can i DO now...
How to Use Limited resource to make the story telling allive
and WHAT is the message i will need to bring to the target group?
and one things make me concern is, my company running out of budget, i am not sure whether there will be any funds allocate in this project?? hmm... i start to make a thought of that.
the tentative program i planned as below
8.00 am: registration
8.30 am: One story i KNOW
10.00 am: Break/tea
10.30 am: Live Puppet show
11.30 am:
1.00 noon: rest/lunch
2.30 noon: the story of alligator/in black and light up candle
4.30 petang review/closing down/goodbye
8.30 am slot: The One Story I Know activities
i plan to asked all the child sit in a circle, then each child to tell a story told to them that they can remember by someone, by granmother/father, (nenek ka) or whoever....
this is useful to access children's level... (as discussed with priscila on SKYPE)
then after that maybe can go no-directive way in group/pair
( i afraid this activity need facilitator to guide the child, and most of the facilitator are not knowing what is storytelling about.......)
Priscilla also mentioned to me before: if the children r shy, then both can do a story together in a majong sheet. taking turns to draw...
i will see how, if One Story I Know activity take not longer time, then i shall just go into live puppet show with stage. if yes, i shall let the story finished then make some adjustment
11.00 am slot:
i am thinking of using the story: Taffy and the Invisible Magic Bandage by Nanvy
this is because many of them had a lot of secrect which can't tell some time
and i would like to use this story telling as a generalizer - make this as commom things, secrect need to tell, so hurt can be lesser
2.30 pm slot: The story of alligator
i planned to used the story which i went for a workshop on storytelling "Power of the tale" conducted by Jo Kukathas on 14th December 2009
it's a one man show.... i will be the person who control the show....
haiz/// so, now, i am less worried
as i had some plan, a big picture to go.....
just i need to let my teamate understand about it
hmm...i pray hard, so that everything goes smoothly
