Podcasts about Storytelling festival

This week on Ojai Talk of the Town, we're joined by storyteller Megan Dolan and Ojai Storytelling Festival's executive director Kara Lakes. Megan shares the inspiration behind her powerful solo show, Not the Right Mom: One Mother's Misadventures in Autism, a Full Spectrum Comedy — a deeply funny, raw, and tender look at parenting on the spectrum, and what it means to show up when you feel wildly unqualified.Kara - herself the mother of an autistic child - tells us why the Storytelling Festival is bringing this moving performance to the Temple of the Oaks on May 7, and why stories like Megan's matter now more than ever. We talk about vulnerability, humor, and how storytelling builds empathy, one laugh — and one tear — at a time.We also talked about the dehumanizing remarks made by HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, how family members deal with their autistic siblings, and why and how the power of stories can overcome fear and ignorance.We did not talk about Marie Curie's strange death, the Lakers' early playoff exit or the rise of inauthentic Texas barbecue.For more information, check out OjaiStoryFest.org.

The World Affairs Council of Harrisburg is inviting high school students in Central Pennsylvania to take part in their annual Martin Luther King Jr. International Poetry and Storytelling Festival on January 19. This year’s theme is “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” Joyce Davis, President and CEO of the World Affairs Council of Harrisburg, says she hopes students stop and think about the ideals of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and what it means to their life today. “We must accept finite disappointment, meaning that that disappointment is now limited but infinite. We can never give up this infinite hope that this will be a better world. It is going to be. And it's only going to happen if we don't give up and don't suffer despair, “said Davis. On Wednesday February 15 at 5:30 The 3rd annual Central Pennsylvania Dr. Martin Luther King, Dr. Commemorative banquet will take place at the Hershey Lodge. Dr. Wanda Knight, Professor of Art Education and African American studies at Penn State Harrisburg says this banquet is always held on Dr. Kings Birthday. “I want to say that again, January 15th, we know we have a holiday, but that typically may not be his birthday. So, what people to make sure they recognize his birthday, which is January 15th, always. And this this case, January 15th, falls on a Wednesday. And the whole purpose of the banquet is to enhance community engagement among local organizations. And I'm thinking about our organizations, our businesses, our residents. Also, the banquet is designed to strengthen community ties and promote unity and collective responsibility, collective responsibility. And that's really key to what Dr. King's vision of a more just and equitable society, “said Knight.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lakes talks about what's new this year - the story slams, workshops, special events such as Naughty Tales and renowned musical acts.

The latest SWH! podcast is all about the forthcoming Village Storytelling Festival (5 – 10 July), with Ali talking to Creative Producer Emma Collins, as well as participants and performers Raymond Wilson, Daiva Ivanuskaite, and Shona Cowie. Returning for the first time since 2017, The Village Storytelling Festival will explore Connection and Transformation – Storytelling in a Precarious World and Emma gives us an overview of this year's festival, as well as all the relevant details. Raymond, Daiva, and Shona then talk about the shows they are involved in, as well as telling us what they are looking forward to.

He was a loved husband, father, son, and friend. He grew up in southeastern Connecticut, living in Pawcatuck, Mystic and New London. James learned to swim by falling in the Pawcatuck River as a youngster.  In some ways, James's life began in earnest after he contracted rheumatic fever, spent a year in bed, and relearned to walk in his early teens. Shortly after recovery, he dropped out of eighth grade and joined the U.S. Navy at the ripe old age of 17 in 1942, to fight in World War II.  He started his Navy career as a gunner's mate and finished as a Chief Petty Officer and a Fire Control school instructor. He retired from the Navy in 1962 after cruises to the Arctic, the Antarctic, the tropics, and places in between, all above Davy Jones' Locker.  Jim married Agnes Irene Scott in 1948 and started a family with her in between stints of sea duty. They eventually settled in Pawcatuck 1962. Through it all, he learned the power of an education. Though Jim was often away from his young family at sea, working at the base movie theater, and going to night school at Mitchell College, he dearly loved his family. Later, Jim became the Apprentice School Supervisor at Electric Boat and earned an associate degree in Business Administration in 1968 from Mitchell College. After Electric Boat he became the New England Training Coordinator for the National Machine Tool Builders Association and finished his formal career as the Director of the Department of Labor for Rhode Island.   Jim loved scuba diving, fishing, clamming, lobstering, baking, running marathons and of course doing 750 sit-ups whenever he felt like it. In his later years, he also tended a large raspberry patch, dabbled with grapevines, and loved sharing his homemade jelly and sourdough bread.  He will be deeply missed by his family, his friends, and everyone who knew him. Thank you for taking the time today to remember and celebrate Jim's life That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more!

Luuk praat met Sahand Sahebdivani over onder meer over het Storytelling Festival 2020, wat hij de voorwaarden voor een geslaagd festival vindt en waarom ook voorstellingen over pornoverslaving getoond moeten kunnen worden. Ook vertelt hij over de verschillende stromingen op het gebied van storytelling in Nederland, over waarom de Engelse taal juist wel een geschikte taal is om festivals in te organiseren en hoe mensen zich positief kunnen verzetten tegen de verengelsing van de Nederlandse taal.

Hi everyone. Long time no talk. I hope wherever you are, you are doing well and staying safe. I'm hunkered down here at home, trying to get used to all of this. The reason I'm back today is to tell you about an online event you can attend. It is called the St John's Story Telling Circle. Normally, this story circle, an open mic for storytellers, is held at a pub. Since that isn't possible now, they are holding them online via Zoom. Two weeks ago, I attended the first session and it was so much fun! On total there were 10 storytellers. Listeners checked in from around Newfoundland Labrador, the rest of Canada, the United States and even Australia! The administrator was Kailey, and they welcomed us all and introduced the host, Gary Green. I'll give you Gary's bio from the organizers: GARY GREEN is a storyteller and author who has performed both inside and outside the province for a variety of groups ranging from youth camps to international conferences. Among the groups for which he has performed are the Gros Morne Fall Fest, Cape St. Mary’s Performance Series, Battle Harbour Historic Trust, Canadian National Storytelling Conference, Admiralty House Museum, Labrador Creative Arts Festival, St. John’s Folk Festival and Trails, Tales and Tunes. Gary has performed on television as part of the series “Legends and Lore of the North Atlantic” and on several radio stations. He has performed in the international award winning productions “Inside Outside Battery” and “Foghorns and Heartbreak”. Gary has been a consultant for the use of storytelling in the interpretation of the Battle Harbour National Historic Site, the Point Amour Lighthouse Provincial Historic Site and is very active in developing and delivering a story-based interpretation of The Crow’s Nest Officers’ Club National Historic Site. He has been a board member of the St. John’s Storytelling Festival, and a founding board member of the Soundbone Traditional Arts Foundation. Gary teaches storytelling at the annual Vinland Music Camp. The other storytellers were Alex Mason, Harry Ingram, Gaurav Madan, Jeanene Walsh, Christie Keegan, Karen Carroll, Ken Parsons, Dave Paddon, and Sage Tyrtle. There was such an incredible and unique collection of stories, there were costumes, it had everything but the cold beer. Next time I'll be sure to sip on one to get the total experience. Speaking of next time. They are holding their next session on May 13th at 8PM NT. Don't be late as the doors are locked once the show begins. You can go to their website at www.storytellingstjohns.ca and sign up for their newsletter, and you will get a link to register for the next circle. Are you a storyteller yourself? You can let them know you'd be interested in sharing. If you are new to Zoom, you can download it for computer or mobile device at Zoom.US. If you get to the show early, there is a quick Zoom lesson for you. I will be there, and I hope to see you too! That's it for me this week, I will be back soon with a regular episode on a historic topic. If you have any suggestions, email me at newfoundpod@gmail.com Thanks and take care of yourselves, and each other. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newfoundpod/message

Life Athletes, hello and welcome to episode 99 of the Life Athletics podcast. Today's guest is Caroline Weiler. Caroline is an author, photographer, travel leisure entrepreneur, and co-founder of the Travel Storytelling Festival happening this April in Brussels. Caroline shares about these projects, as well as her newest passion of mind-mapping individuals and events to visually understand the thinking behind just about anything.   Habit of Thought: "I look forward to every single day and tell myself it's going to be an awesome day with new opportunities and experiences. I'm an optimist."   Habit of Action: "I write a lot about my experiences, life, people, my thoughts, feelings, emotions, expectations. I write about the little pleasures of life."   Greatest Strength: "I am independent and can deal with tough stuff by myself."   Resources: The Travel Storytelling Festival on Facebook www.dreamsarepicturingtheworld.com Facebook Instagram: @dreamscaroline Twitter: @DreamsCaroline
