SHE sounds like a terrific idea. Please keep us posted on the Global Campfire at Jonesborough and subesequent SHE events. We will have to think about doing a Global Campfire in Ohio.
I am an Ohio Storyteller. My husband, Harold Wright, and I tell in tandem We also tell solo. Our specialties are Ohio, Appalachian Ohio, and Japanese stories. Our current projects are 1. Collecting oral histories from elders in Appalachian Ohio: Project Save Our Stories, through the Appalachian Highlands Storytelling Coalition and an Ohio Arts Council grant. 2. Compiling and Editing a book on Tandem Storytelling and Storytellers. You can get complete information on our website.
I love your photo!!!

Hope you are well

Thanks for writing Jonatha. I think my 'partner' either lost interest or got cold feet. I'm currently shopping around for a new collaborator. I've developed a complete scene-by-scene storyboard for the tale, but I need to hone the oral performance with another person to get the voices, timing and delivery down.
Best wishes,
Hi there!
Our primary act is a theatrical performance that we both perform in. We recently went back to being a duo when our son "retired" at 18. He'd been performing with us since he was 3 - full time since he was 5. We couldn't keep him off the stage. Now it's just the two of us again.
We have also each developed our own solo shows.
I love your photos. You both look so animated. Do you travel much beyond Ohio? We will have to look you up when we get out that way. I have bookmarked your site.
We also love stories from Japan. "Follow the Buzz" is in our current production. We use masks and take inspiration from NOH style theatre.
Thanks for contacting me!
Hi Jonatha, Sorry that I didn't get back with you. I must be hallucinating because I thought I had. Been a rough week. Connie Pottle is such a sweetheart. Gene and I think the world of her! Yes, the P.O. Box is the best address for us. Can't wait to see the book and if you think it might be out before the end of March, let me know. Would love to get a few copies in the gift shop of the Texas Storytelling Festival. If not, maybe the state conference in the summer.
Hi there. I have been living in Andalucia now for nearly 4 years. Don't do as much storytelling now as I am not too good at spanish yet!! Argh! So I sometimes travel back to the Uk and other countries to perform or hols workshops.
Hard to say what stories I tell....I don't have a limit or a remit......usually go with the flow. Got myself a bit of a name in the Uk for role stories.
Love the sound of your work. From what I hear the USA scene is very into personal stories? It must be good to work with your partner.
Would love to tell in the states at sometime but it is hard to find suitable venues.
