- About Me:
- I've been a primary school teacher for 13 years, and always liked to tell my pupils stories, particularly fairy tales.
Since August 2008 I'm self-employed and promoting story telling as an educational tool in schools and pre-schools. I've started performing for children in October and I plan to give workshops for teachers to improve their story telling skills.

Hi Katie,
I've only just joined this group and I'm probably too late with my reply.
When I read your question I immediately had to think of the story below, which I learned from a fellow storyteller at a training, who on his turn has heard it tol...
This is a place where storytellers can share their favorite tellable versions of public domain stories. You may include notes, sources, telling tips, and interesting anecdotes about the story. Happy Tales to You!
yeah!!!
I learned about World Storytelling Day via this network and had a great day! With two fellow storytellers I attacked several primary schools and we encountered a lot of enthusiast listeners. Next year again!
With two fellow storytellers I attacked primary schools and we were interviewed and filmed by the local newspaper. I'm the one with the black hat - and sorry, in Dutch of course ;-)

Rivka Willick said… - This past May I performed at the Orlando Fringe Festival. One great benefit--a really fine professional photographer took pictures. My file picture (posted here) was taken at the NJ Storytelling Festival from another professional photographer. I use to run when I saw a camera, now I just keep telling and smile when I have a decent picture. Rivka

Katrina Oliver said… - Hi Melanie, Thanks for contacting me! Yes, it sounds as though we do have much in common. I am not a formally trained teacher, but have been involved as a childcarer, nanny, 'assistant teacher reliever' (in quotes, as my title had to indicate I wasn't qualified), teamleader at a parent run early childhood centre, parent helper at my children's school, and so on... Keep in touch, Melanie, as we both set out on this wonderful storytelling journey!

Welcome to Professional Storyteller. I am thrilled that you made the jump into full-time professional storytellling. It's a challenge but well worth it. I think you will get a lot out of this online community of tellers from around the world. I am an author, storyteller, professional development consultant, and literacy advocate. I love telling to children as well as training educators and librarians in various methods of storytelling, connecting across the curriculum. You are in for a marvelous adventure. Enjoy the site and congratulations!
Warmly,
