Silent Storytelling by Noriko Yamamoto: "The Funny Little Woman" 

Silent Storytelling is a term I created for storytelling without spoken words. Instead, it utilizes mime and dance choreographed to music, with a stage set and props, to 'tell' existing literary stories.
"The Funny Little Woman" is a Silent Storytelling translation of the book of the same name, which is retold by Arlene Mosel. I've performed this particular story hundreds of times, but in this video of excerpts, I'm performing it at the 2003 Atlin Arts & Music Festival in the Globe Theatre in beautiful Atlin, BC.
