About the Emergent Storytelling Series:
Our next event will be the weekend of January 22/23 2010.
The goal of the Emergent Storytelling Series is to give the storytelling community, both present and future, the chance to hear and experience some of the excellent voices in contemporary storytelling.
Rather than apply the diminutive phrase of “new voices” to storytellers who have been working for a decade or more, we’ve chosen to name the series “Emergent” to symbolize the opportunity for these excellent storytellers to continue to make their presence known, emerging as it were, on a national-level stage. Many of them are long overdue for this type of recognition.
Storytellers participating in the Emergent Storytelling Series are not beginners. You will get a chance to experience the work of talented and productive professionals. We hope you enjoy the Emergent Storytelling Series in Arizona.
If this is your first time at a real storytelling event, come participate in an art form that must be experienced to be truly understood. We’re glad to welcome you. If you are a long time member of the storytelling community, you are in for something fresh and new to you.
