Hollyhock - Island Getaway Health Retreat

Everybody and everything has a story. In fact, we are filled with stories. These stories can be memories of events, characters, places and moments in our lives. These stories are like fireflies flitting around deep inside us. Call forth some of those fireflies in a simple and playful way. When a memory is called forth, the storytelling is often fresh and interesting; the details are sharp, as is the sense of place, characters and the event itself. These forgotten memories are at the heart of good storytelling. Draw your memories out with what Jay calls “sparks.” Songwriter and storyteller Mandi Kujawa from Banff assists in helping you use sound, rhythm, repetition, song, movement and imagery to tell your story.

 

Jay O'Callahan is one of North America’s most beloved storytellers. Dubbed “a genius” by Time magazine, he has performed his original work with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, at the Lincoln Center and in theatres throughout the United States. He slips into the souls of his characters and captures the wonder and sparkling sense of life within them. www.ocallahan.com
