Farrell Cunningham

A veteran of storytelling, theater and spoken word festivals in 22 states and 12 European cities, Milbre brings her classic wit and dynamic presence to our stage again. Winner of the Circle of Excellence award from the National Storytelling Network, she will light up the Festival with her brilliance.
  Bil weaves stories that will leave you wondering if they are true. One thing is for sure, they will always be honest. An award-winning teller, he has been repeatedly featured at the National Storytelling Festival, published a novel, and released a DVD. Really. Truly. And always funny.   The youngest speaker of the Maidu language, Farrell has the stories of his grand
-parents and ancestors, translating the ancient tales into English. He is also a painter and writer, has studied anthropology, and currently teaches Maidu around Nevada City. Coyote, Worldmaker and humans interact in his tales to make you sigh and wonder. Farrell will be joined by other Native Americans, introducing us into his world of magic and myth for a special session on Sunday morning only.
   

Sarah Saulter

   

Sarah tells stories about people who--through choice or chance—turn their backs on safety, and step into the unknown. A professional storyteller for over twenty years, she has performed at the National Storytelling Festival and hopes that when you hear her tales, the adventurer in you will awaken.

  Tim brings forgotten fairy tales alive again, evoking ancient stories that are as relevant today as they were at first telling, thousands of years ago. We welcome Tim to the Festival for the first time, and fittingly he will be leading our first-ever Story Slam on Sunday morning.   Awele does not merely tell a tale with words: She sings her characters out of history and into your lap: she dances the struggle for equality into your arms. An internationally acclaimed actor and educator, she has performed across the United States as well as Canada, Australia, Russia, Taiwan, France and South Africa.
 
   
 

Doug Elliott

 

Doug has been a harmonica champion at the Fiddler’s Grove Festival, performer at the American Museum of Natural History, and workshop leader at the Smithsonian Institution -- but what Doug really loves is to roam the woods. These days he uncovers more than just a few strange critters: He shines light on the human connection in this vibrant world.

 
   
 

Antonio Sacre

 

Antonio delights in Spanish or English, to young or old with his dramatic, heartwarming tales. Awarded a Best in Fringe Festival for Excellence in Solo Performance, he has worked as an artist-in-residence with youth in four inner-city high schools of New York, Chicago, and South Central Los Angeles.
