Faux pas

Please do not write “reading”!
Free, lively storytelling is very different from reading aloud from a book. But because we are more familiar with the term "reading" than "storytelling evening", the two are sometimes confused. It's a bit like calling a violinist a DJ…
Also I do not tell stories that I made up myself, but rather ancient tales for adults from oral traditions around the world.
