Seema Anand is a passionate and inspiring storyteller. Whether her listeners are 9 or 90, she has the capacity to transport them into her story-world and hold them there. Seema is unusual in that she has no genre in her storytelling. She may take us back into unchartered antiquity or she may chose to propel us far forward to places that time has not yet reached – either way, it is a trackless darkness lit only with the story to guide us back. Seema specialises in global mythologies – comparing and retelling stories through different cultural nuances – so as to give everyone ownership of the tales. Her ongoing work in researching and collating stories from the ancient Asian texts is an invaluable resource, both in the corporate and the education sectors. Story, according to Seema, is a physical skill and a visual art, and her work is developed to include alternative aesthetic and cultural perspectives for all ages and capacities.
