Stories are an essential part of being human. We tell stories to entertain, to console, to negotiate, to teach, and to self promote. But we don’t always know how to tell our stories and we don’t often have the opportunity to share our stories with the world. I combine my own storytelling performance practice on stages across Canada with twenty years of teaching at the Secondary School level in ELA, Economics, and History My goal: Inspire student’ stories about their authentic lived experience.
