A story begins with a call…
Hello, I’m Kristianne.
I am a storyteller, folklorist, podcaster and teaching artist. My own journey into story took me through worlds both academic and artistic, guided always by the empowering forces of curiosity and wonder.
My storytelling workshops are more than investigations of the inner working of story structure; they are creative and therapeutic opportunities to connect and re-create experiences. You already are a storyteller and a hero on your great journey. Together, we build a creative tool bag to carry you through the looking glass or fairytale woods to a magical world.
Emily Dickinson invited us to “tell all the truth but tell it slant.”
A story slant is the creative re-visioning of a tough and important life experience, re-framed with plucky animal heroes or supernatural battles. Story slanting encourages imaginative embellishment and exploration of the deep truths of metaphor and symbolism. Your story becomes an alchemy of fact and feeling; a way to tell the whole truth.
