Nu Wa International Storytelling Delegation
an Asian Experience
Doug is working with the Asian Storytelling group Eth-Noh-Tec to promote cultural awareness a sharing of stories between America and countries in Asia. We are promoting cultural tours to India in 2008 and China in 2009. These tours will be of most interest to storytellers, performing artists, and educators but anyone interested in a real, off the tourist track experience of Asia is also welcome. As a photographer Doug has found these tours to be a photographer's heaven.

"Nu Wa Rising"
A Journey To A Chinese Storytelling Village.
On this journey to China, adventurers will wlak the cobbled spine of the Great Wall. Explore the halls and courtyards of the newly restored Forbidden City. Peruse the gardens and vistas of the Summer Palace or Temple of Heaven. The most exciting experience will be in the tiny storytelling village of Gengcun. There, a plethora of tales and myths will await you amidst a tradition so grand, that researchers have deemed this rural community "An Ocean of Stories." Join us as we share, swap, and exchange our stories with over 100 mid-level to master tellers, some of whom know up to 500 stories.
