EVENTS
In a time of Covid19 Pandemic I am able to move some performances and workshops to an online virtual format, or socially distanced. While not preferable it allows for a level of connectivity, refreshing social time and for me to work a little bit at the craft I love. I offer both performance and workshop in this Zoom portal format.
How does storytelling via Zoom relate? Here is a comment from my Greenwich Library Tellabration:
“Wow! Carolyn, I just attended the Greenwich library Tellabration. You told two fabulous stories! I was mesmerized!! You were informative, so inspiring, and very soothing. I loved losing myself in your stories and totally forgetting our current nonsensical reality.
Thank You!!” Judy Petersen
