CALLING ALL STORYTELLERS
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A STORYTELLING
ADVENTURE IN HAWAII THIS SUMMER?
YES? We would LOVE to include
visiting mainland storytellers in our 3rd Annual Talk Story Camp
(right on the edge of Windward Oahu). Come as a camper, or apply as a
featured guest performer/teacher and contribute. Either way,
You’ll never see and hear Hawaii
like this again!
It’s
now a fact- it WILL happen! I am sharing this fact with you and invite you to
plan to attend.
A narrative & photos from last year at www.talkstorycamp.com
So
What’s Camp Cost? Dunno yet, but it’ll be cheap to attend. And we will organize
excursions before & after as well,
EXAMPLE:
We’ll likely do a group Spooky Tales Show at Kailua Park for TEENS on
Monday, July 22, 6-8:30pm
We
will take guests to local museums if visitors are interested. Polynesian
Culture Center is nearby. We also visited local farms one year and hiked. We
arranged performances in Summer Fun Programs one year too. There are Bed &
Breakfasts nearby, and Waikiki is 30-45 minutes away for those who don’t enjoy
the thought of beachfront camping.
Structure: I don’t know (yet
exactly), but it will mix a choice of organized sessions (adults and for
kids)(story with crafts, story learning, story swaps, local and visiting
talents) with common meals, Imu (stone cooked dinner) dinner Saturday night,
canoe rides each day, and free time (swim!). We do have families as well as
storytelling enthusiasts. So if you want to add your name to the talent pool
for this programming, let me know!
Want
to be considered as a Featured Guest Teller/Teacher? If you want to offer a
workshop, have a specialty (storytelling or puppetry or story craft or nature
walk)(kids and or kid/adults andor for adults) tell me about it. Speak up.
Send
me to a website, YouTube, whatever you have to introduce me to your work and
tell me what you want to offer.
We
pay featured performers what we can: a gorgeous long weekend on the beach, with
local talents and families in
a
camp right on the beach where we ‘talk story’. We can cover your camp and food
at camp and some of your on-island transport and possibly some housing before
& after, OK? Bring your own tent if you can.
Basically,
fly yourself here and we’ll help with the rest.
For
Both of the past two years our Featured Guest Tellers were Gene Tagaban, Lyn
Ford, Linda Yemoto
So
just send me a note on what you are thinking. More details will be shared with those
expressing interest.
Speak
up and let me know you are curious/interested/enthusiastic and pack you
swimsuit!
Aloha,
Jeff
Gere
