Meet the Storytellers 2002 Charlotte Blake Alston “I believe in the power inherent in the spoken word and in the power of story to inform and transform. I tell stories because I have found myself in them. I tell because the stories demand to be told. I tell because Iam commanded by those ancestors whose words and stories were silenced, misunderstood, or maligned; whose collective toil, tears, prayers, sacrifices, love, hopes, and faith beckoned me into existence. Storytelling transcends time, culture ethnicity, class, and gender. Today, the stories are a vehicle for cultural understand- ing and appreciation. I give them as healing gifts.” Based in Philadelphia, Char- lotte breathes life into traditional and contemporary stories from the African and African American oral and cultural traditions She brings her stories and songs to national and regional festivals, schools, universities, museums, libraries and performing arts centers throughout the United States and Canada. Milbre Burch Although Webster's dictionary defines “story” as an account of incidents of events, story a la Milbre Burch is an indoctrina- tion in living. This mother of two, mime-turned-storyteller is legendary. She holds numerous awards, including the Circle of Excellence award from the National Storytelling Network as well as a Parents’ Choice Award. Listen to Milbre talk about her passion for spinning yarns and its clear that her objective is anything but acquiring fame and fortune. Expressively unpretentious, she radiates candor that is characterized by a marked interest in tales that are human- izing. One of the things stories allow us to do, according to Milbre, is “give the human psyche a chance to try on a variety of experiences and come away with a sense of what it's like to really live.” Through her work, Milbre incarnates stories that become lessons on how to author our own lives--perpetuating the richness and beauty inherent in us because they are our fantasies. Our fears, our epiphanies, our hopes. They possess the part of us we believed in once upon a time, and preserve the characters that make us real.--Gina Streaty Willy Claflin Willy Claflin grew up on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, where he spent his time wandering through the woods, listening to his father tell stories, and worrying about the wolf under his bed.

This practice makes ours one of the premier storytelling festivals in the country. ‘lundreds of children and young people from first grade through high school have told stories at the WSU Storytelling Festival since egan in 1996. Many children who had their first on-stage successes here, followed up with speech and drama activities in middle and igh school. Generally, student storytellers are good students and avid readers. Many search throughout the year for good material for the 1ext Storytelling Festival. Children from throughout the area participate in a variety of storytelling activities in their schools prior to the Festival. From these, proximately 70 to 80 are selected to perform at the Festival. They rehearse, tell their stories to other children at school, to residents in iursing homes, to friends and to any grandparent, aunt or uncle who will listen. ‘amilies develop storytelling traditions. Parents assist children in selecting, memorizing and rehearsing their stories for the Festival. ‘ounger children want to be like their older brothers and sisters and tell stories to their stuffed animals and dolls. Families tell stories at ‘muly gatherings and in the car while they are traveling. Children remember and retell the stories they heard from the adults with whom they shared the stage. he Festival is indebted to teachers and media specialists who encourage the art of storytelling in their schools and to parents who port and assist their children in preparing for performance.

Not only does an audience react together -- laughing or crying as befits the events of a story -- but also breathes together as well. Beyond the bounds of shared emotion and breath, the power of story is rooted in the metaphors and images it offers any group of listeners who go away from the telling with a shared language.
