Her aim is always to make the profoundly simple contact between teller, story and listener richly alive. She is dedicated to bringing traditional stories to young people and has worked in schools settings through Prologue to the Performing Arts (www.prologue.org) and the Ontario Arts Council's Artists in Education Program. She is currently available for school visits through MASC (www.masconline.ca).
