Itinerant storytelling

Itinerant storytelling refers to the practice of storytellers traveling from place to place, sharing stories with different audiences. These traveling performers often rely on oral tradition, adapting their stories to different communities and settings. This approach helps preserve cultural narratives, entertain, and educate diverse groups without relying on written texts. Itinerant storytelling has historical roots in many cultures, serving as a vital means of cultural transmission and community connection. The storytellers’ mobility allows stories to evolve and reach wider audiences, making it a dynamic and enduring form of oral art.
