The Curious Case of Singing a Story
Presentation Serene Choo | Moderator: Adia Tay
Curiosity sparks off a series of sensory delights. From dramatic storytelling and life-size animation of characters, as seen in the Stories Come Alive rooms at selected libraries, to songs that capture the mood and feelings of the stories. Today’s digital storytelling is evolving in writing, illustration and animation styles to create funny, entertaining and enriching experiences. Join the speaker's journey in creating immersive, sensory-rich experiences for young audiences.
