Storyteller Oba William King performed for students at Doak Elementary School on Sept. 15, engaging the students through an interactive style that included rhythm, singing and hand motions. King performed at Doak through a partnership between the International Storytelling Center in Jonesborough and the Museums of Tusculum College. As part of the partnership, storytellers in the center’s Tellers in Residence program perform for local school children each year. King, who is the Teller in Residence this week at the International Storytelling Center is known as the “Poetic Storyteller” and tours nationally presenting programs of story, song and drum for all ages. His school- and library-based assembly presentation and Family Reading Night program have received acclaim nationally.
