::other programs::
Schools: We understand that as an educator, you need more than just good entertainment, you need an educational tool. We will tailor our program to meet your needs. Are you having issues in the classroom among students? Let us use stories to help them understand the importance of tolerance and teamwork. Are you working on a special project or subject that needs a boost? We'll help you by adding a creative twist. With new and original stories, music, and group interaction we will help you move your students towards your classroom goals.
Libraries: Let us know when your regional showcase is, we would be happy to come and give a sampling of what we have to offer. Your reading program themes are important to us and we will customize the performance to work along with your activity goals. We will even write original material just for your program!
Nursing Homes/Retirement Communities: A treasure trove of history and humor, the stories of these folks often go unheard. We provide workshops that teach them how to turn the stories of their lives into works of art to be passed along. Some of the topics covered in the first day workshop include: Memory Mapping: Finding Your Story Crafting: Pulling It Together Voice: Motion and Style Then to top it off, we provide an audience the next day to hear the wonderful tales that have always been there just waiting to be told! This is a two day program requiring at least a one month notice. Check out The Wrinkles Project.
Storytelling Festivals: Using her original Pitscreeks series, Kim will engage the audience in a wild ride of tall tale spinning. Inside each story is a hidden truth which goes down easily with good dose of laughter. Always invited back to wherever she performs, you will be pleased with the program as well as the teller. (Willing to do workshops/schools as part of a weekend event)
Fundraisers: We are always interested in helping you help others. We will discount our fee's and do all we can to make your fundraising event a success. Kim makes the perfect performer/speaker for fundraising events! 16 years of non-profit experience has helped her craft the perfect closing to a fundraising event.
Stories That Heal: We believe in using stories and music to help troubled teens and abused women. Stories have the power to touch the deep places within a person, diffusing defenses and opening the door to understanding. Scheduling a performance/workshop at an organization dealing with these types of audiences will require a phone interview between the performer and the event planner prior to the event being booked.
