Applause! "I loved this! It is so worthwhile to experience the calm and the confidence needed before the "storm" or the test of our ability and talent." "I think it will grow and develop with my life experiences and with my changing needs. I love the circle I created!" "Whether this workshop is taken one time or many times, there is always room for more excellence."
Christmas Eve (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007) It's a tradition! What did you like best about this storytelling program? "the spirit of Christmas that Carol conveyed" What suggestions do you have for Carol? "none--perfectly wonderful." --Cara Kennedy, parent
"I enjoyed both of your stories I like the use of your body language that also helped in telling the stories!" "Your voice tone, animation, repetition (light to dark), created an enchanting atmosphere."
Jordan School District Literacy Specialists hire Carol to tell stories at literacy events.
Carol told the tairy fale of Beeping Sleauty and taught the students a magic trick too! "It's a fun and energetic way to tell stories to younger children." I'd like to see you "interact the spoonerisms with the audience." --Alisha Willett "The story was funny." I liked "learning how to do the string thingy," (magic trick) --Kyle Brown
What a wonderful gathering of like hearts ready to connect with each other by way of story! The Story: Carol "brought the house down" at the Saturday night Children's concert with her hilarious delivery of Ladle Rat Rotten Hoof. After the story, children were overheard rehearsing their fascination with the strange sounding word substitutions "wooshclutter.....wooshclutter....whooshclutter." After hearing "Ladle Rat Rotten Hoof," audience members shared the following: "I had lots of children there and I loved how you involved them and how much they laughed and enjoyed your story." -- Rene Sheets. "You certainly are a good example of what you teach!" "Carol, I always enjoy hearing you perform your unusual stories. You have such a unique depth of knowledge when it comes to words and how they fit into the English language. It's poetry!" --Billie J. Jones, President
"I love to watch Carol as she plays with words while telling stories. Her listeners hang on her every word as she delights them with stories like Ladle Rat Rotten Hoof."
"...simply delightful! The clever switches in language were masterful!"
"I really liked how funny reversing the letters was and how you had to really engage and think about it. The gestures and actions were great. It was an all around good time for everyone re-experiencing an old favorite!" --Susie Nilsson, Storyteller "I loved the play on words. You are phenomenal to carry these mixed up words throughout a whole story. You have the ability to take a well-known story and breathe new life into it. Your stories are delightful and funny. I don't know how you do it. Carol, I loved the way your story progresses and your pacing based upon the audience feedback. You know how to read your audience." --Janine Nishiguchi,
The Storyfest Workshop: I wonder about ways to develop new stories. Thanks for all the great ideas. --Derle Thorpe Derle attended Carol's workshop:
What I liked best about your Fractured Fairy Tale workshop was "all the different ideas and ways to fracture a story. It gets me thinking."
From the Salt Lake Tribune's Close-Up Correspondent. Carol, Congratulations on the class! I am so excited for you and I think it’s such a great practice to be spreading around that nothing but good can come from that. Very exciting. I’am still interested in doing a story on NLP, I just haven’t pinpointed the publication for it. Good Luck! -Lynda
