These videos showcase my storytelling from preschool to adult audiences. Telling to a camera, is of course very different to telling to as live audience, but these will give some indication of my storytelling style.

Senguttru
Melons
This story comes from the Warring States period in China (c 475 to 221 BCE). In the original format it was about the State of Wei and the State of Chu. I recrafted it to be about two villages to make it more accessible to a modern audience.
Rajah Suran
This story is recrafted from a story in the Sejarah Malayu (the Malay Annals). It has been published in four folktale anthologies; in UK, US, India and Singapore.
No Eyes to See
My recrafting of a true story that took place in Singapore during the racial riots of July 21 1964. My thanks to Mark Chin for permission to tell his story and to the late Goh Sin Tub in whose book I first read it.
