Texas Summer Storytelling Conference
June 27-29, 2014
Oblate Renewal Center, San Antonio
 Tales In and Out of School: 
Children, Imagination, and Learning

It is with great anticipation and excitement that the craft of storytelling inside and outside the classroom will be available for teachers, librarians, administrators, and novice to veteran storytellers alike. Our San Antonio Storytelling Association has worked hard to bring you the best of the best presenters this summer, right here in beautiful San Antonio, TX. If you are an educator, please share this information with your district's Central Office so news of our conference will spread quickly. We have workshops involving science and storytelling, music and storytelling in the classrooms, origami and storytelling, higher order thinking and storytelling, and more! What a great way to begin your summer but with stories galore.

Megan Hicks is our Keynote speaker and feature Storyteller for the conference. I bOn her way to becoming the storyteller she is today, Megan Hicks served a 13-year apprenticeship as a children's librarian -- in a large suburban library with a small staff and a busy program schedule. It was during these years that she lost her fear of toddlers and received eleven epiphanies about storytelling for children, one of which is: "Storytelling for kids is NOT 'Storytelling Lite.'" Today, Megan travels nationwide and internationally sharing her love of story and her other passion -- origami -- with children, inner children, and the people who care for them. She has performed in libraries in Western Australia, toured schools in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Colombia with Dream on Productions, and is looking forward to a tour in July, 2014, of libraries in New Zealand. Megan lives in Nether Providence, right outside Philadelphia, with her husband Jack and four dysfunctional cats.  

Knowing how expensive educational conferences and workshops are to attend, you can not pass this three day event up. For a mere $105 (member) or $140 (nonmember), you'll hear and participate with national and international tellers and presenters such as Megan Hicks, Jay Stailey and Tom McDermott, Pat Nease, Susan Guerra (from Norway), Donna Ingham, Fran Stallings, and so many more. Please check out our website here.

I'm especially excited about Saturday morning of this conference because we'll feature a Youth Storytelling Showcase: Story Behind the Story: Nurturing the Next Generation. I'll have a few of my students along with a few of Mary Ann Blue's students tell their tales to share the power of story within youth. Our keynote speaker and storyteller, Megan Hicks will be our emcee allowing for a question/answer time for not only the audience but for Mary Ann and I to speak on allowing time for youth storytelling to occur in the school setting and what it takes to begin this wonderful venture.


Hope to see you there. If you have any questions, please leave a reply or email me at sue.kuentz@gmail.com
