Storytelling, etc.

To the Latitudes Storyteller Festival yesterday morning principally because I wanted to see the short piece MTSpace developed for a recent conference on the employment problems of immigrants, Me Here, Me Happy. Also saw the African Women's Alliance of Waterloo Region storytellers (including shy teenage dancers) and Isabel Cisterna, who told a story and also talked about arpillera, which are kind of story-telling quiltlets. She also runs Cafe Cabaret which will be in Victoria Park in a tent next to the clock tower, June 17.

And coming up, Legion of Memory, "a site-specific performance exploring war memorial and the displacement of war refugees who have come to live in the Kitchener-Waterloo region from the former Yugoslavia." June 16-25, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
