Excellence in Storytelling: Art and Advocacy, Purpose and Practice

Fri, July 13

Time and Room TBA

Charlotte Blake Alston, Milbre Burch, Syd Lieberman and Dovie Thomason (confirmed speakers) address the challenge of excellence when story's place in the world has been relegated to “long ago and far away.” For 35 years the national storytelling organization has been called upon to create a community that is increasingly diverse, accessible and empowering; to engage all its members from novice to nationally known; to remain relevant, balancing collective memory with a call to new directions. These veteran artists speak of their work within that community and the place of an ancient art form in a new century.

Other panels will be listed soon. (Posted 11.16.06)
