From California's sierras, tandem tellers Cynthia
Restivo and B.Z. Smith captivate audiences young and old. They
magically transport their listeners to imaginative times and places in
their engaging performances.
Two tellers in one, the Story Quilters create a
blend of traditional storytelling with theatre. Folk tales, poetry,
and original stories wrap audiences in a memorable journey.
Sometimes speaking in unison, sometimes in syncopated rhythm, or gently
rolling tongue, their tandem pieces are a refreshing twist on tale-telling
where two voices offer one story.
Yet B.Z. and Cynthia are each accomplished solo
tellers, as well. During their concerts they present solo stories
along with tales told in tandem. The Story Quilters tell for
festivals, colleges, schools, libraries, corporate meetings and
gatherings, wherever people come together.
Whether telling for adults, families or children,
the Story Quilters hold audiences in rapt attention. |
