ARTYPANTZ STORYTELLING EVENTS

I AM CURRENTLY OFFERING MANDALA WORKSHOPS

AND COLLAGE ART WORKSHOPS.

(RETIRED FROM STORYTELLING EVENTS IN 2020)

I traveled around the Greater Philadelphia area from 2003 to 2019 sharing my original 100% interactive theatrical storytelling events with people of all ages. I designed and created hundreds of costumes and props for these events. Approximately 80,000 children and adults participated in these show over the years.

As of the spring of 2020 when the Covid Pandemic began, all storytelling events came to a halt and as the months moved on with it getting worse I decided to retire and turn my focus to Sew Bee Mine, my sewing adventures, and resume fine art painting.

But I am not ready to delete the whole shebang from this website because it is full of so many wonderful memories.

The audience became the show and, using beautiful handmade costumes, props, puppets and percussion instruments, 

we told the stories together. 

All stories integrated themes of unity and cooperation. 

 EVERYONE PARTICIPATED and had so much fun.

There were many Happy Customers
