for all ages
Master storytellers, Patti Christensen and Panchita Acevedo offer bilingual English/Spanish storytelling programs for children, families and adults. Enjoy their high-energy folktales and true stories out of history.
Audiences throughout the region have delighted in hearing Panchita share about her migrant experience about coming to the United States as an 8 year old child from a little village named Arroyo Seco de Abajo in the municipality of Tepetongo, in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico, to Tijuana and migrating to the fields of San Jose, California, eventually coming back to San Diego County. She also has a wealth of knowledge of Spanish language folktales.
Patti is a happy transplant coming to California from the cold state of Minnesota. She performs in libraries, schools, conference and museums, and brings her love of folktales and bringing stories to life. She tells stories with intensity, fun, and plenty of heart.
Together, the two provide dynamic and memorable programs that audiences rave about.
"Thank you so much for your energetic and engaging storytelling program at the San Marcos Library this past week.
The audience enjoyed your selections. They became a part of the stories you shared. Some of the participants in this program asked if you were going to visit the library every week.
You were superb!!"

What a great site PS has become and what a great community of tellers. Forgive me for being so late in greeting you. I don't know how I missed you in the beginning days of PS and then recently my heart decided to throw a little surprise party at the emergency room... not a heart attack just Pericarditis (non-lethal... only painful condition). I am recovering nicely, was able to go ahead and get married and move. So you might forgive my late greeting. Hope you join some of the groups... mine will pick back up as I get more settled into our new routines. Anyway... welcome to PS and I hope you learn to love it and this wonderful collection of tellers as much as I do.

Thank you for the invite. How interesting...I've just come from a storytelling performance at a bilingual school here in Albuquerque...La Mesa Elementary. I told one of the teachers that I thought the children would benefit most from a bilingual storyteller. I shall pass on your name and website.
So nice of you to add me as one of your friends. I remember meeting Patti at a Doug Lipman workshop many years ago! But don't think I've met Panchita yet. Look forward to running into you at NSN confreances sometime. Sorry won't be at 2008"s. Maybe next year!!
my languages being English - Hebrew - Arabic. I want to cross the gap between the cultures where I live. I have my first storytelling workshops soon for kids who don't speak Hebrew and a little English. Any advice?

Thanks so much for adding me as a friend. This is a wonderful site - I just hope I can keep up with it! It's funny, I know I need to network more with other artists but I rarely make (or have!) time for it. But I'll keep trying!
Thanks again!

Thanks for adding me to your friends' list! I'd love to see you perform sometime! I also do a bilingual show with a puppeteer from Jalapa, Mexico. My website, has some photos of her and me and some of the puppets.
Cheers!
Monica
