Profile Information

About Me:
Dale Gilbert Jarvis is a performer who has been telling stories since 1992. Dale has been one of the few professional storytellers in St. John's, and has performed at a variety of events, conferences, luncheons, and benefits. He is in great demand for storytelling festivals across Canada, and has been featured at local and international festivals in Cape Breton, Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, St. Mary's, Regina and Whitehorse, and as told tales as far away as Beijing and Oslo.

Dale tells stories of the faerie folk, tales from the collections of the Brothers Grimm, ghost stories, legends and traditional tales from Newfoundland, Ireland, the United Kingdom and beyond.

He is the founder of the St. John's Storytelling Circle, president of the St. John's Storytelling Festival, Inc., and was the Storytellers of Canada/Conteurs du Canada representative at the inaugural meeting of the Federation for European Storytelling (FEST) in Norway, 2008.

Dale has written and performed in a number of other storytelling shows, including "Away: An Evening with the Faerie Folk", "Graveyards & Goosebumps", "Tales in the Temple" and "The St. Valentine's Dreadful Date", and "Pirates at the Pier". He has collaborated with musician Delf Hohmann on two storytelling shows "Under the Juniper Tree: Stories and Songs from the Brothers Grimm" and "The Devil Made Me Do It!".

He also offers workshops for beginning storytellers and on storytelling for historical interpretation, and has taught storytelling to adults, highschool level students, and most recently, is working on an Arts Smarts program with grades 4-6 at Holy Cross Elementary School in St. John's, Newfoundland, where he teaches kids to tell their own stories, and puts their stories online in MP3 format.

The Golden Leg and Other Ghostly Campfire Tales
One of Canada's favourite storytellers is back with a collection of classic ghost stories for young adult readers. If you dare, make your acquaintance with dark-cloaked ladies gliding through the silent streets, headless men fished out of the ocean’s depths, and clutching hands reaching out of the inky darkness. Author and storyteller Dale Jarvis has put together a collection of spooky stories from Newfoundland and Labrador, along with ghastly tales hand-picked from haunted spots around the world, and he has retold them in his own wonderfully creepy style. This is the perfect book of tellable campfire ghost stories for professional and beginning storytellers, camp counsellors, Girl Guide and Boy Scout leaders, youth leaders, educators, and everyone who loves a creepy tale. All author's royalties go to support the Camp Delight Children's Oncology Camp. Buy a book, and help send a kid to camp!
