Profile Information
- About Me:
- I started telling stories for others' entertainment as a child when my brother would ask, "Tell me a story?" and as we draped ourselves on our stomachs on the swings, swinging idly, I would start to spin a story. My first storytelling for a public audience was in 1969. I love all kinds of story – epic, myth, legend, folktale, and literary, including some of my own, which are in fact the stories most often requested. I love the way stories can take us anywhere – and I love the way storytelling can, too, as I have travelled to do storytelling around Canada and into the US and to Australia and Belgium. I teach workshops to all ages, and I tell in tandem with Glenna Janzen. Sometimes I organize things, too – I directed the Toronto Festival of Storytelling in 2006, and also in 2004 and 2005 with Dan Yashinsky, and I'm Artistic Director of Tongues Wagging Productions. I taught in the Parent-Child Mother Goose Program for 9 years in Hamilton and Toronto, telling and teaching stories to parents and young children. And I am founder of the Uppity Women tellers: women tellers who tell stories of strong women of fact and folktale.

- Well, I believe in the power of story to transform lives - for the better! In fact, I am doing my graduate studies on this topic. This group is for those who share similar views and provides a venue for expressing them! So, you are welcome to "Applied Storytelling: the Power of Story." To join the group simply click on "Groups" at the top of your home page, then click on the "Applied Storytelling" icon (a nice cup of cappuccino!), then click on "Join this Group."
