For a good story, come to Newfoundland and Labrador!
Picture it. Summer 2010.
Storytellers from throughout the world will merge in one place - St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador - for the 18th annual conference of Storytellers of Canada. For five days, participants will be engaged in an international meeting place of culture, art, and tradition.
Next summer’s conference is brimming with opportunities for professional development. Participants will learn international perspectives about the art and tradition of storytelling. They will gain marketable skills to help them with the business side of their storytelling performances and teaching. Most importantly, they will be immersed in the story telling and story sharing of Newfoundland and Labrador.
For centuries, we’ve opened our doors to people from throughout the world. We’ve shared stories of mermaids swimming at sea, fairies hiding in woods, and mummers visiting our homes. Participants will be invited to listen to our stories and music; meet our people; explore our rocky coastline; and attend celebrations for the 400th anniversary of English settlement in Cupids, a community within an hour’s drive from St. John’s.
Sometimes you’ve got to go to the edge for a good story! Storytellers of Canada 2010 conference – a meeting place of storytellers held at the eastern edge of North America! Wednesday, July 28 to Sunday, August 1, 2010.
