A STORY with Four CHARACTERS

4 Storytellers Convene to Talk Some Story
Tues. October 13, 7-9pm, $10 @ The Arts at Mark’s Garage

This is a dinner date, a brain trust, a backstage sharing between four advanced storytelling pros with VERY different styles, cultures, and creative backgrounds. Come take a seat at their table as they talk shop and story with each other.

They will convene following the 21^st annual Talk Story Festival, a three night celebration Oct. 9-11 at McCoy Pavilion. There, eight tellers on each of three nights perform twenty minute sets with video recording, dramatic lighting, sign interpreters- it’s the biggest storytelling celebration in Hawaii! But this evening will be more intimate, open-ended, and conversational. Sit in with four wordsmiths who paint stories inside minds on lots of their days. Come see with your ears.

JEFF GERE is the Drama Specialist for the Parks Department. He is the founder, promoter and MC of the Talk Story Festival, aired Talk Story Radio for two years on public radio, has 8 CDs and tells constantly. He was born on Halloween. He has convened this evening to see what the others have to say.

KUNIKO YAMAMOTO is Japanese, and lives in Florida. She tells traditional Japanese tales in unique, untraditional ways using magic, masks, and common object manipulations She is a favorite at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., tours constantly, and appears in American’s Story Festivals. She is in Hawaii to ‘vacation’ with her mother (joining her from Japan).

ALTON CHUNG, a local boy living in Portland, is a meteor across the national storytelling scene. This year he was a ‘Teller in Residence’ at the International Storytelling Center (Tennessee) and performed at the Congress of Asian Storytellers in Singapore. He’ll premier a show telling the tales of Hawaii’s Okinawan Community in World War II on October 24 at the Okinawan Center.

LOPAKA KAPANUI leads the ‘Mysteries of Honolulu’, Hawaii’s best ghost tour, continuing a tradition begun by his mentor Glen Grant. You can find him several evenings a week leading groups around Iolani Palace. He is a Mason, is studying to be a kumu hula, and has written two books on Hawaii’s supernatural lore.
