Review Quotes:
"Lwin unites performance features and narrative content in order to analyze the emerging narrative structure by examining multiple live applied storytelling performances. Lwin focuses on the story, the storytelling discourse, and the storytelling event, which are the key elements in the proposed multimodal framework in an applied storytelling performance. Both scholars and practitioners alike should find Lwin's approach to explaining the concepts of narratology, multimodal communication, stylistics, performance studies, and discourse analysis interesting and useful."Kaitlin Cannava, PhD, Research Consultant and Lecturer, San Jose State University, USA
