Abenaki Storytelling with Anne Jennison
Address
This is a hybrid program, held via Zoom. Participants may watch from home, or come to the library and to watch the performance together in the Community Room.
Anne Jennison’s Native American traditional storytelling performances mostly draw from Abenaki and other Northeast Woodlands stories – and often begins with a greeting song or friendship song, accompanied by her rattle or frame drum. Then Anne shares a few Abenaki storytelling traditions to place the stories in cultural context – and to teach listeners how to participate in the storytelling through the use of a call-and-response phrase. After that, listeners will be taken on a spell-binding and entertaining journey through a series of traditional Native American stories. Each story has a compelling narrative, but also some subtle – and some not so subtle–life lessons! Prepare for an interactive storytelling experience filled with humor, drama, and moments of wonder.
