A
popular misconception when someone hears the word
Storyteller is that this is a children’s activity.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Everyone
communicates using storytelling while defining their
day, recounting their trip, telling jokes and anecdotes
and so on. As an art form, storytelling is
experiencing growth in adult forums.
It is a dynamic and entertaining segment for lunch
and dinner meetings, and sales meetings and conferences.
Brenda has delighted audiences such
as adults of the Halton Aphasia Centre, conference
participants on Violence for the Halton Police
Association, the Burlington Tennis Club, Administrative
Assistants Association, Evangelical Lutheran Women, MS
Society, Newcomer’s Club, and Anglican Church Women.
Brenda is also a member of the
Uppity Women, a group of five storytellers founded
by Carol Leigh Wehking. Uppity Women tell
folktales and true tales about sheroes: females who led
lives out of the ordinary. They have been featured
at many venues throughout southern Ontario and beyond,
and their program also includes The Dame Name Game.
What an enjoyable way to enhance the
ambience and camaraderie of an afternoon or evening! |
