About Me:: I provide theme-based, interactive programs and performances--using story, rhythm, and song--for those ages 2 through 92 (primarily in the Denver, CO, metro area--but I am willing to travel!) as "The Percussion Lady." The community/family drum circles and my "Paws & Claws--Crazy Critters of the Bush & Jungle" are my most popular programs. I also perform with my close friend, Sondra Singer, and together we're known as "Alaifa." Finally, I am also currently developing a one-woman "living history" on the early to mid-life of Golda Meir, former Prime Minister of Israel. :-)

Folkloristics is the study of the folk, being two or more people who have a commonality which they share through their ideas, actions, conversations and, of course, their stories. That is a short-version definition, and I can't do a real definition justice because the discipline is very hard to define. I myself am still trying to find what it is to be a folklorist. There are many aspects to folkloric study from the material to the oral to the ideal, depending on what aspect of the folk one wishes to explore.
Hope you're not confused. I will try to offer a better explanation given more time.

There is probably not a way to view my page without logging in. Sorry! I do recommend joining though. Facebook is great fun! There are a few storytellers on there too :)

I dropped the daily pages, but I'm working so hard on this humorous Ukrainian cookbook, I get all the writing I need. My first paragraph is always garbage, then the writing starts to flow. It's time to quit for the day when my recipes get cranky instead of funny. The great thing about Julia Cameron is she teaches you garbage and cranky are okay. The vein of gold is waiting underneath.

Talk to ya later, gecko woman :-D

Loved your Video, especially the Hebrew dialect.
Take care!

Hopefully tomorrow you can try again? Hope so.

I know there is so much Talent! I am so inspired every time I come to this sight and see the amazing things that people are coming up with. Storytelling takes all shapes and forms. Voices!
I love using the puppets but I also like doing straight telling as well.
