Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. Two children I have been performing in a variety of media and venues for over 30 years, and have concentrated on storytelling since 1991. I was trained on a grant from Citizenship and Multiculturalism Canada, under the mandate Storytelling for Peace and Mutlicultural Understanding. I perform in varied settings, such as schools and libraries, festivals, camps, conferences, A.G.M.'s, hospitals, First Night, International Women's Day, Celtic Roots Festival, and other special events. I believe in the truth to be found in stories and in their power to forge connections between people. I tell multicultural folktales, legends and myths, my original stories, based on early Canada and other historical periods, medieval and ancient stories, and epic, with a special interest in women's stories and in stories which foster multicultural understanding and peace.
Some sets are available in period costume.
Music and cooperative games can be included. I teach a Parent-Child Mother Goose Program in Hamilton, Ontario.
