The art of storytelling has been around since time began.
As long as there have been people, there have been stories handed down from generation to generation as far back as Ancient Egyptian civilisations and even here in Australia with Aboriginal Art CAVE paintings that date back thousands of years.
Stories are part of every culture around the globe.
Without knowing it, we are surrounded by stories each and every day – that being through songs on the radio, movies, tv, podcasts…
When you think about it, a storyteller holds the key that connects straight to our emotions with the power to make an imprint on our hearts and minds.
They have the ability to capture our imagination and transport us to another place, and what a gift that really is.
Today we are welcome a wonderful storyteller, Alex Ryvchin: a writer, public speaker and advocate.
Alex writes for leading publications and speaks around the world on issues relating to foreign and national affairs, Religious conflict and is a regular commentator on TV and radio. He worked for a member of the state legislator as a researcher and speechwriter before practising law at 2 of the world’s largest law first in Sydney and then in London.
He is the author of two books and now the children’s book ‘A New Day’.
We ask Alex questions including:
- Telling stories is a large part of what makes us as human beings connect to each other. What are your thoughts on this?
- The power of storytelling, it’s far more than just reading words of a story out loud. An author has the ability to provide us with a lens for us to look through to see and feel what they want us to. It’s a pretty powerful thing don’t you think?
- Why do you think storytelling is such an important part of our daily lives?
- In the past, you’ve written other novels on the topics of history and politics. How did you connect the two and come to write a children’s book?
- Can you tell us a little about the book, A New Day, what inspired you to write it?
- The book to bring comfort, happiness and strength to families, why do you think that is so important at the moment?
- What lessons do you hope children learn from the book?
- What do you think children will remember from the COVID-19 era?
- In the last few months, we have seen a massive shift across the world. We have seen our lives completely change. What message do you feel compelled to share with parents that can help them see with a positive perspective and not only that that but will assist them to thrive?
- What change do you want to see in the world?
