ABSTRACT
Storytelling is part of the foundation of what makes up and has made up the connection that binds together humans from a handful of people in the earliest families from the dawn of time to the prehistoric tribes that settled in villages and finally established civilisations. The concept of a living story is not exclusive to Integrated Storytelling. It has been defined as being embodied in not just the person, but in tribes, communities and tribal communities. In the context of Integrated Storytelling, however, the living story is to be seen as a narrative entity that is not only lived by people or used as the basis for improvisation. The earliest examples of the living story becoming visualised and more or less static through depiction are the cave paintings and drawings created tens of thousands of years ago. With the invention of books and printing then evolved further with replaceable letters by Gutenberg in 1450, a revolution in storytelling began.
