DrumSongStory at CT Storytelling Festival w/ young audience volunteer

An eclectic, ever-changing, shape-shifting, globe-circling, archetype-exploring, bridge-building, boundary-breaking, mind/heart/ear opening, combination of Drums, Songs & Stories.

This is a totally flexible format where I mix a little of everything I do to create a performance custom tailored to each audience.

Depending upon what I pull out of my DrumSongStory bag, this program can be a celebration of Creativity, Language Arts, Multi-Culturalism, Nature, Tolerance, Character Education, etc. Or, it can be adapted to whatever theme you might be working with.
