| Storytelling for me is about connections,
with one another and with our past. It calls up the profound
wisdom of the collective unconscious and sets us vibrating
in sync.
I am a veteran, bilingual teller of Franco-Ontarian heritage,
drawing from my dramatic arts and music education to breathe
life into a repertoire rich with mystic myth and legend, and
kooky comical folktales served up with a generous salting of
French Canadian humour, and highlights of music to taste.
Known as a ‘kid magnet’, I also have a particular
affinity with women’s groups, a mutual adoration with
the senior generation, and favour the intimate setting of stories
told around my woodstove. As The Organic Storyteller I tell
anywhere from radio engagements to birthday parties, from Gala
receptions to the University classroom, and all of this programming
bilingually, in French or English, or both when appropriate.
