Bringing to Light Storytelling, Music, and Dance Inside a Montessori Environment

Ryan Katz speaks of dance as movement arising out of imagination—sometimes natural, interpretive, behavioural, or even spiritual. Katz shows the connection of imagination to the art of storytelling, as an expression of culture, responding to audiences, and a means of imparting oneself through literacy to the next generation. Again, storytelling attaches knowledge to personal experience, brings the listener to the spiritual dimensions of history, and gives an
anthropomorphic understanding of the natural world. Imagination works! It unifies life.
