I have been a central Illinois storyteller and educator since 1991, entertaining and engaging audiences from 5 to 105. My storytelling programs feature oral traditions from around the world, many accompanied by culture-related objects or games. My interactive, artifact-based, historical programs reflect over 25 years of experience gained as the Assistant Director of Education at the Spurlock Museum at the University of Illinois. I have performed and taught at storytelling festivals, school classrooms and assemblies, professional conferences, city-wide celebrations, libraries, the Illinois State Fair, scout gatherings, summer camps, personal parties, club meetings, and other gatherings of all kinds. My enthusiasm is both unmistakable and contagious; let me share the joy and power of history and the tale with you. LINK: https://www.kimsheahan.com/videos
