I love stories, and the ideas and images they can convey and believe in there is an important place for oral storytelling, alongside reading, in our culture. Story telling can be more creative as each story evolves slightly each time it is told. Stories can be adapted, not tied to the words on the page. It enables the listeners to create their own imaginative pictures and images as the story unfolds.
My favourite stories are those with a twist in the tail, some humour including The four stages of man; Coyote and the money tree; and Anansi tales.
I tell stories that may be traditional, modern or new and original. I love listening to stories and delight in finding a gem of tale that is calling out to be retold.
