An Italian storyteller came to our local (in England) storytelling cafe so we went along. Her name is Paola Balbi and she is excellent - also a classically trained actress. she told us she runs a group of Rome based storytellers and in Sept/October this year there will be a storytelling festival, presumably with storytellers from all over the world. Just thought it might be interesting to some people who will be in that area. She also talked amusingly about the northern and southern branches of her family. I felt lucky to be able to hear her in (very charming) English as I would probably not have been able to follow the stories very well in Italian, but a lot of forum members seem to be fluent. In a festival there may be stories in several languages anyway. Maybe some of you have been to past ones?
Got to rush to work now.
ciao
