Storytelling is perhaps the oldest existing performance art. You basically sit or stand as you tell a story before a large or small group (at least one person - otherwise you come off as quite insane). Some have instruments, some don’t. Some sing, some don’t. I tell for all ages, though have a strong weakness for telling stories to adult audiences.
I mostly tell original stories (some that have been published), and adaptations of myths and legends. I've turned some of my stories into podcasts.
Check out my winning Once Upon A Slam entry: A Betrayal by Underwear (I tell the hard stories.)
I also have video from my Iceborn 2009 set: A Facebook Fairy Tale.
I'm also part of a wicked group of performers, the Kymeras, featuring storyteller Ruthanne Edward, poet Kathryn Hunt and spoken word artist Sean Zio. Check out our official website!
