The ancient story of Stone
Soup in which
a weary traveler helps to transform a fearful village of isolated
individuals into a sharing community provides an apt metaphor for “story
art”. Storytelling and theatre art (art forms on the same happy
continuum) are unique and powerful in that they both require and
create community.
By daring to ask the villagers to imagine
the possibility of soup made from a stone, the traveler is able to
move them all from a mindset of scarcity to a place of sufficiency — where
they realize that they do have something to contribute, and that
by working together everyone is fed.
Not a bad metaphor for life in this world.
Stone Soup Productions is a cultural arts
enterprise dedicated to the creation, presentation, and promotion
of quality story art for the purpose of inspiring individual and
community growth, transformation, and empowerment.
