Tcha Tee Man Wi 2014

Beloved Storytelling Festival for Adults and Children Returns For Its 10th Season

The beloved Tcha Tee Man Wi Storytelling Festival returns for its 10th season on March 6 – 8, 2014. The Festival brings some of the best storytellers from across the country to the Mid-Willamette Valley just as live storytelling continues to gain renewed vigor and respect across the nation. The festival features three days of exciting performances and creative workshops for both adults and children in the Albany and Corvallis areas.

After a two year hiatus, the Wonderkeepers Storytelling Guild has assumed the production of the Festival with the help of dedicated volunteers, local sponsors and contributors, and the National Storytelling Network. Joyce Morgan, founder of Wonderkeepers and a former Festival board member said, “Storytelling creates community, cultural awareness, and a great deal of fun. We knew we had to return this important gathering to the community.”

The Festival continues its tradition of inviting respected national, regional and local performers to share the drama and comedy of their own lives and varied backgrounds, along with the universal insight of myth and legend.

This year’s performers:

Latina storyteller, performance artist, and writer, Olga Loya uses a dramatic mix of Spanish and English to share traditional tales from Latin America as well as stories from her own varied and colorful life growing up in East Los Angeles.

Cowboy poet and storyteller, Joe Herrington, grew up under a big Texas sky and roamed the wilderness beneath it. With the clear eye of a Will Rogers and a voice of campfire warmth, he finds the deep connections between our current world and the day-to-day lives of his rugged characters.

Raised in a Midwestern storytelling family, Steven Henegar celebrates the wonderful variety of stories that we use to share our lives. Funny, touching and relatively honest, Steven calls up the everyday and the fantastic – truth and lies mined from a long life looking around.
