Storyteller Patricia Howe

Wow! I discovered digital nirvana here! http://storytellingnotes.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-storytelling-videos-online.html Patricia Howe, a storyteller who travels to schools and retirement centers sharing stories with kids and kids of all ages." I found a video of her take my fav, the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. Howe's rendition had a bullied slant, though, for which she named the tale, The Bully Billy Goat. It began like the traditional tales and incorporated the repetitive strand exemplified in "Rock is my home" from residency. Howe did not use any animation other than moderating her voice and animating her body language. She stood primary in the same spot at the center of the room, moving "in space" the entire time. If you become intrigued like I did and wish to follow Patricia Howe's latest gig, she updates her status often via Twitter!
