Are you a performer of story or listener, both, other? Tell us a bit about yourself...
I have been telling stories professionally for over twenty years.... but I love to listen to tales as well. My areas of interest are Nature and Seasonal Mythology, Celtic and Kurdish tales and True stories that bend the known boundaries of Reality. I have a sub-life as an alternative Theatre Performer hanging upside down by a thread or making masked escapades into the Subway
