Education and Inspiration through the ancient art of storytelling!
Books and stories can bring to life distant times and places. The spoken word allows listeners to encounter some of the great minds in history. As an author and storyteller, Brian “Fox” Ellis has spent countless hours exploring the worlds these authors have created through their writings. The goal of these programs is to bring to life the ideas and perspectives that have shaped our world. Often Fox speaks first person when it suits his character, but occasionally he chooses to be “a friend of” because this second person voice allows him to put the life of the author in a broader perspective and to discuss the implications of the author’s work. Many of these programs come with extensive follow-up lesson plans in creative writing, history and science.
In a well researched, interactive monologue Fox portrays the movers and shakers of history, literature, art, and science:
