You asked and we listened! Past participants in NHTP's Annual Storytelling Festival requested more in-depth workshops and performance variety. This year's 4th Annual Storytelling Festival has been expanded to 3 weeks and includes a variety of workshops and performances. Individual tickets and festival passes are available.
For serious tellers, our featured artist Diane Edgecomb will offer The Golden Thread: Finding Meaning in Traditional Tales, a 3-week workshop on successive Fridays, March 6, 13, & 20 to explore storytelling techniques in Voice, Characterization, Narration, and Movement. Workshop participants will present their work in our final Storytellers Showcase on March 22, hosted by Pat Spalding.
Other festival workshops include:
Native American Storytelling with Anne Jennison on March 7
Irish Music & Storytelling with Regina Delaney on March 14
Mythologizing Personal Stories with Genevieve Aichele on March 21
Each weekend of the Storytelling Festival has unique theme: performances on March 7-8 celebrate the earth, nature and springtime; the second Festival weekend celebrates all things Celtic in honor of St. Patrick’s Day; and NHTP’s season theme of “Can one person make a difference?” takes center stage on the Festival’s final weekend.
