A. Artikel
Story telling atau bercerita dalam pemikiran penulis adalah suatu kebiasaan
yang sudah ada pada masyarakat dunia sejak dahulu kala. Mendongeng adalah
kegiatan yang dilakukan ibu penulis saat akan tidur dan menasehati penulis saat masih
kecil. Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, kegiatan bercerita pun tidak lepas dari kehidupan.
Tetapi, sekarang ini bercerita atau mendongeng berubah menjadi kegiatan budaya.
Maksudnya, sekarang kita sering mendengar istilah lomba story telling, atau festival
story telling dalam berbagai bahasa. Dalam pemikiran penulis, karena story telling ini
menjadi sebuah lomba atau festival maka hendaknya harus memenuhi syarat-syarat
tertentu agar story telling ini berhasil yakni untuk menghibur penonton dan
menyampaikan pesan moral.
Pertama, cerita yang disampaikan harus menarik, sesuai dengan tema dan
mengandung pesan moral yang penting. Dengan membawakan cerita yang menarik,
maka penonton akan terhibur. Dengan pesan moral yang tepat, harapannya kita dapat
menginpirasi penonton untuk menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik.
Kedua, pendongeng hendaknya memiliki ekspresi/ mimik yang
menyenangkan, gesture yang tepat dan rasa percaya diri yang tinggi.
Selanjutnya, kemampuan bahasa Inggris dan penguasaan cerita pendongeng
harus bagus, karena ketepatan kosa kata, pengucapan, struktur dan unsur kemampuan
bahasa inggris yang lain akan mempengaruhi ketersampaian cerita yang disampaikan.
Jika seorang pendongeng menguasai cerita, maka dia akan mampu menyelesaikan
cerita dengan baik hingga akhir. Yang terpenting adalah menguasai cerita, bukan
menghafal. Jika dihafalkan maka pendongeng bisa saja macet dalam mmenyampaikan
cerita.
Selanjutnya, bercerita tidak sama dengan drama. Oleh karena itu, hendaknya
pendongeng tidak terlalu banyak akting yang dibuat-buat seperti dalam drama.
Terakhir, seorang pendongeng harus kreatif dalam mengembangkan cerita
dengan sentuhan baru agar penonton mendapatkan sesuatu yang beda dari cerita
dengan judul yang sama yang pernah mereka dengar sebelumnya.

D. Alasan pemilihan cerita

Saya memilih cerita “The legend of Tegal Arum” untuk memperkenalkan kekayaan
cerita dari kota saya, Pasuruan. Cerita ini mengandung pesan moral untuk selalu berbuat baik
dan rela berkorban. Cerita kedua”The Young man and his one-eyed-mother “ saya pilih
karena mengandung pesan untuk kita selalu menghargai orang lain terutama orang tua. Dari
cerita ini saya berharap penonton akan menangkap pesan moral dan saya mampu
mempengaruhi mereka untuk menjadi orang yang lebih baik untuk mewujudkan manusia
Indonesia berkarakter lebih baik.
