Teller: Heather Forest

Nationally acclaimed storyteller, Heather Forest, is a modern
day bard who has appeared in theatres, schools, literature conferences, and
storytelling festivals throughout the United States and abroad. Her dynamic
fusion of original music, poetry, and the sung and spoken word brings
multicultural folktales to life in the imagination of her listeners. The
comedy and pathos of point of view, the mysteries of womenfolk, the
trickster, the fool, quests and journeys are threads on this noted
storyteller's colorful loom. Heather Forest brings elegance, wit, and the
poet's touch to classic tales from the treasury of world folklore.
Her storytelling has been featured numerous times at the
National Storytelling Festival, Tennessee. She has shared her unique
storytelling works at The Museum of Modern Art, N.Y., the Discovery Theatre
at the Smithsonian Institute, Washington D.C., and at international festivals
including the Sidmouth Folk Festival, England, Tales of Graz, Austria, and at
the Glistening Waters Storytelling Festival, New Zealand. She has published
seventeen folktale recordings and books and has won an American Library
Association Notable Record Award, two Parent's Choice Gold Awards, and three
Storytelling World Honor Awards. A pioneer in the American storytelling
renaissance, Heather Forest is a recipient of the Circle of Excellence Award
presented by the National Storytelling Network, U.S.A. for performance skill
and the 2021 Talking Leaves Award for her contributions to storytelling
literature.
