Stories and narrating are very important in a child s life. A Painttelling takes the story out of a book and exposes it in all its forms, dimensions and power to an audience.

Little by little they get into the story and become free to express themselves.

With Painttellings, even children who don t like books, get access to stories and often get to like reading books.

8 Stories and narrating are very important in a child s life. A Painttelling takes the story out of a book and exposes it in all its forms, dimensions and power to an audience. The story is told live in front of an audience, mostly children. Drawings are made simultaneously and the children are triggered with questions to take part in the performance. Little by little they get into the story and become free to express themselves. There is laughter, joy, excitement, silence, screaming and a nice feeling of togetherness is created throughout the performance. With Painttellings, even children who don t like books, get access to stories and often get to like reading books. Painttellings reveal the magic of stories, inspire, give body to the spirit, connect people, boost positiveness, and give the audience a lifetime unforgettable experience. To make it work, the artist-performer should be all round to make it happen. And most important, he or she needs a great passion and love for children and books. Such an artist is Lida Varvarousi. She started her Painttellings in 2001 and is still performing these days. In Greece only, she has reached at least 700 schools and about children. Outside Greece, she has performed in Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Cyprus in Greek and English. Her books are bestsellers and long sellers due to the Painttellings who proved to be the ultimate promoting tool for books. Lida has this vision to travel all over the world to perform her Painttellings. She is convinced that she can do this in nearly all circumstances because she has been there. She also would like to pass her experience to other people through workshops, tutorials, master classes and webinars. you tube: Information & Bookings for Painttellings: e: lida@bookatale.com m: w: fb: painttellings by lida varvarousi Meet and greet Lida at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2017 Hall 5.0 A40

9 Her talent to create images with words and then to transform the words to images on the paper is unique! Her narration, the audience s participation through their bodies, their opinions, their words at the time of Painttelling, all the above together become a collective picture full of life and meanings on the paper. Her narrations always come to induce children to think on serious subject matters in an aesthetic and humorous way. Her pictures feed children s imagination. Her voice and singing all through the narration create a pleasant and creative atmosphere.
