Proposal

__** Unfamiliar Genre Project Proposal **__

//__Name:__ Fable, Folktale, Myth, or Fairy tale//

//__Why Interested:__// //__What you know about the genre__//
 * I've always been interested in storytelling as a performance, but I have only ever performed stories or directed performances of stories that are already written. I would be interested in trying to write a fable, folktale, or fairytale of my own. Potentially this project could embrace and play with the typical elements in this kinds of stories.
 * This is an expansive genre (which is true of most genre). Oftentimes, fables, folktales, and fairytales are appropriate for children (though they were not always written for them). Additionally, the genre often has an allegorical quality that allows the characters and situations to stand in for other characters and situations. Also, these types of stories often have a moral or message.
