Illinois Storyteller Profile
 |
|
| Bio: | A seasoned educator, Nancy brings storytelling into the lives of children and adults. Her authentic voice is rooted in her knowledge of Jewish culture, history and the Hebrew language. She is known for her fun-filled renditions of traditional folktales, original stories, poignant family narratives and inspirational stories from the Holocaust, most notably A Window of Beauty. With gentle power and disarming humor, Nancy has performed for diverse audiences at a variety of venues, including the prestigious National Storytelling Festival Exchange Place, the Illinois Storytelling Festival, Tell It In the Mountains of North Carolina, the Chicago Jewish Folk Arts Festival and Whitwell Middle School, Tennessee - the home of The Children’s Holocaust Memorial. "Recent medical research suggests there is an 'intelligence of the heart.' Nancy’s storytelling at our Illinois Storytelling Festival has confirmed this scientific speculation. Her telling is a feast of wisdom and compassion - a can't miss.” - Jim May, Founder-Illinois Storytelling Festival. |
