ADDITIONAL NORTHLANDS NEWS

Fringe at Northlands:
Want to tell more than 1 story, or try a different format?

New Voices Scholarships
Northlands Storytelling Network is offering New Voices Conference Scholarships to young adults (age 18-35) interested in using storytelling in their respective fields. Recipients of the scholarships will be paired with others at the conference that will act as guides and resources during the conference. Information about the conference may be found on the Northlands website: www.northlands.net/conference.html
Leanne Johnson Memorial Scholarship
In August, 2007 we lost an amazing woman, our dear friend and colleague Leanne Johnson. One of Leanne’s greatest joys was mentoring new storytellers. Through the generous gift of an anonymous donor, Northlands Storytelling Network is offering one conference scholarship to an adult interested in moving their storytelling beyond novice to professional. Leanne was keenly aware of how difficult it is to move from part-time to full-time storytelling. It is with that in mind that Northlands will finance a teller’s attendance for the annual conference.
Information on the scholarship is available at www.northlands.net/conference.html
