United Church of Chester Presents
Tellabration! A Celebration of the Oral Tradition
Tellabration is a mammoth storytelling event - and that's no Tall Tale! It's a storytelling phenomenon, made up of dozens of storytelling happenings all over the world. Its purpose is to introduce adults, as well as children, to the pleasures of the oral art of storytelling. It is one of the programs offered by The Connecticut Storytelling Center, based in New London.
The United Church of Chester will host a Tellabration for families on Sunday, November 5th at 4:00 p.m. Margie Warner and Ann Shapiro will perform.
Ann Shapiro has been entertaining with her participatory music and storytelling programs for many years. She is recommended by the CT Office of the Arts as a Teaching Artist and since 1999, serves as Executive Director for The CT Storytelling Center. A teaching artist in residence in CT schools, she helps students and teachers to keep folk traditions alive by sharing the old stories and songs, followed by creating their own.
Ann will use the ancient art of storytelling and singing together to create a fun evening for families. Parents and children will leave their electronic devices behind, and will be engrossed in fairy and folk tales and songs. Plan on laughing and participating! This program creates a feeling of community as everyone joins in.
With a unique understanding of what makes kids tick, Margie Warner has been teaching the joy and humor of life through music and story since 1979.
Offering residencies or single performances of her "Music With Margie™" developmental music program for our ‘littlest listeners’, as well as family concerts, sing-a-longs, workshops and performances for school age kids and adults, she customizes programming to suit a client’s needs, live or virtual.
