We Are The Stars That Sing: The Story of The Universe
that would best suit your event or celebration
1.The Interactive, a participatory, hands-on, call and response,
singing, prop-focused presentation is for
those of you who want to be actively involved in a multi-sensory experience of the
story. You will act out the formation of the hydrogen, create
the solar system, help tell the story of life on Earth, blow
bubbles, throw glitter and sing a moon chant
and more! Creation myths from different
cultures are also told in this presentation and often one of them is acted out by the audience. ~Time: 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, with a short break
~Audience: mixed aged groups, adults, children 3 and older
~Where I have told: birthdays, retreats, museums, classrooms, workshops
"I was delighted with the crowd you were able to draw, children and grownups alike. You did an especially good job of involving and engaging your audience--getting them to sing with you or act out certain parts of the stories. The show was fun to watch and even more fun to participate in!" Jennifer Michael, Ph.D., Traditional Arts Coordinator, Museum of Natural History, San Francisco, CA.
2. The Cosmic Costume presentation is
for those of you who wish to hear a simple, magical, short version of the story complimented
by my stunning outfit. My original cosmic costume was specifically designed to
give a dramatic visual portrayal of the story.~Time: 5 to 30 minutes
~Audience: mixed ages, adults, children 5 and older
~Where I have told: conferences, birthdays, schools, churches, memorials
"The universe story shown forth in her clothes, voice, feelings, words, gestures - she embodied the story beautifully" Mary Therese Kelly, MA, Participant in Cosmology and Spirituality Class
3. The Basic Storytelling version is for those of you who want to sit
back and listen to the story. Woven in and out of the scientific interpretation of the
story are creation myths and simple
chants.~Time: 45 minutes - 1 hour
~Audience: mixed ages, adults, children 8 and older
~Where I have told: planetariums, churches, parties, birthdays, schools, camp fires
"Your 'Story of the Universe' was beautiful. The entire audience was completely enchanted and mesmerized. It was exciting to have the planetarium effects complimenting your words so effectively. The entire presentation simply flowed, and rather than a lecture or even our usual storytelling, it resembled a poetic planetarium show." Tinka Ross, Series Coordinator, Morrison Planetarium, San Francisco, CA.
4. The Experiential Version, "The Cosmic Spiral Walk",
is for those of you who want to experience the story by moving your body and for those who enjoy a visual
dimension. It was designed by Sr. Miriam MacGillis to provide a meditative walk to help
one get a sense of the time, space and creativity of the Universe. For
