Storyteller Rona Leventhal will join December 3 Song & Story Swap
Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the Pioneer Valley
Folklore Society Song & Story Swap.
Saturday, December 3 , 7:00 p.m. at the The Nacul Center, 592 Main St.,
Amherst, Mass (see map).
Guest performer for the December 3 Song & Story Swap will be storyteller
Rona Leventhal.
For over twenty years Rona Leventhal has gained a reputation as an exuberant
and dynamic performer who brings a cornucopia of voices and characters in a
fun, engaging and dramatic fashion. Her performances of multi-cultural
tales and original stories weave together drama, movement, songs, and humor,
and foster audience engagement and participation.
Rona has performed at the 2010 National Storytelling Conference, and does
keynotes, workshops and graduate courses internationally. She produces and
facilitates the Summer Storytelling Institute, a three day immersion into
the art of storytelling, and is a coeditor of the storytelling resource
book: Spinning Tales, Weaving Hope: Stories for Peace, Justice, and the
Environment. Rona's CD, Raps, Rhythms and Rhymes: Stories that Tap, Rap,
Shake and Sing! is scheduled for release this year.
Praise for Rona Leventhal: "Throughout the story I felt like I was watching
a fully staged play with scenery and a cast. I was completely captivated by
this speaker, a fact that I became conscious of only when her story ended so
caught up was I in the performance."
