June 2009 Dear Storytelling Fans and Friends, Just a quick note this month to keep you up to date with my gigs and what not! Everyone seems to be feeling the pinch this year. In times like this, storytelling should fare better than other performing arts. Or at least I hope so! What? I hear you cry! Here are four reasons as described by storyteller Meghan Hicks:-Storytellers are a 'cheap date' -Storytellers
are simple to produce, we come in ones and twos instead
of quartets and troupes -Give
a storyteller a microphone (if needed) and a bottle of water (if
needed) and most are ready to hit the ground running (and if the
power goes out, we can still perform)
-A good storyteller can transport audiences the same way they are transported by a good stage production, or movie In times like this, people want, crave, and need diversion. It is a well known fact that Hollywood thrived during the Great Depression, to great surprise. As a storyteller, we are Hollywood on wheels! There is no substitute for live storytelling. As an African elder once said, "The television knows a lot of stories, but the storyteller knows us." (Thanks Meghan!) I look forward to seeing you at a performance. Remeber to say 'hi'! Free

the Upper Valley at: All these stores are run by wonderful people so drop in and see what else they have for you, or those you love. By purchasing from these and other locally owned businesses, you are supporting the folks who invest in the Upper Valley (and Montpelier) which is a great thing. Well, that's all for now. Peace, Simon |
