The Storytellers of
Canada/Conteurs du Canada annual conference is coming up in just a
couple of weeks, from May 22 through 28. This event rotates through
the country, and having it here in Edmonton is a wonderful chance to
experience some of the best storytellers from all over Canada. The
link above goes to the webpage with all the details, but I would like
to highlight a few things:
On Saturday and
Sunday afternoon there will be free storytelling sets in Old
Strathcona. There are both adult-oriented and child-oriented venues,
and a great variety of tellers. There are also story concerts and
slams on several evenings (there is a small charge for these, and
some are adults only) including a Francophone concert.
There is also a
free introductory storytelling workshop during the day on Wednesday,
taught by MaryAnn Lippiatt. MaryAnn is a very entertaining teller,
who I am sure will put together a fun and memorable session. The
workshop is geared toward adults, but motivated teens may also
register.
We are still in
need of volunteers. Help is particularly needed during the Saturday
and Sunday afternoon sessions. Also, I am running a merchandise table
for the conference and am looking for helpers on Thursday morning and
Sunday afternoon. If anyone sees this and feels inspired to help,
email me at jytkennedy@gmail.com
and I can give you more details.
