Hello! If you are looking for interactive storytelling programs, then you have come to the right place! I offer high-energy, humorous, fully-engaging programs based on folktales from Africa, India, Russia, Mexico, Haiti, the Iroquois and more!

I also have programs suitable for holidays, including a story introducing audiences to the Russian Santa Claus for Christmas and another introducing the Mexican holiday, The Day of the Dead, which is perfect for Halloween!

Additionally, I offer an original program based on my children's book, Lily and the City of Light, as well as workshops for children and adults.

 

And of course, more projects are always in the works! Coming soon are folktales from Laos, Egypt, Sierra Leone and Turkey. If you don't see what you're looking for, just ask. I may be able to develop a program that fits your needs!

 

Keep up with where I'm performing at the "World of Difference Ltd." facebook page!

In addition, World of Difference Ltd. will be releasing our first DVD, "Flight to India" in 2011. This DVD, which takes children on the adventure of imagination and captures the power of story, is based on our program, "The Monkey and the Crocodile." Visit our website or the "Flight to India" fan page on facebook to learn more.

World of Difference Ltd. is based in North Canton, Ohio, but will tour to just about anywhere! I am especially interested in performance opportunities outside the US where I can learn about and experience other cultures first-hand. If you are interested in learning more, please don't hesitate to contact me.

"Lindsay, Many Native-American stories begins with "Long ago when the world was young. . ."  And in some places in Scotland they begin with "About 200 years ago. . ."   Have fun.   Sláinte mhath, Melanie"

Once upon a time. . .

Hello everyone, I'm going to be giving a writing/storytelling workshop to a group of 2nd grade students next year, and one of the things I'm interested in doing is giving them a list of ways to begin a story. (ie; Once upon a time. . . Many, many years ago. . . etc.)I'd also like to give them some of the ways that stories start in other cultures (like Cric? Crac! in Haiti)  I know there are a lot of neat ways out there from all over the world! Those of you who have lived and worked overseas,…See More

Know any Troll Stoires?

Hello friends,

 

I'm looking for troll stories and thought maybe some of you might know of some! An organization near where I live is doing a whole event with trolls sometime this fall. They said that they would like to have a historical story with a central troll character which they are then planning to use as their mascot, so if any of you have any favorite troll stories that you think might fit the bill, please let me know! You can send me a message my oops page or reach me…

You are welcome, Lindsay. I do hope that you will be at OOPS! Conference in 2011. Might you consider sending in a workshop proposal? We love to hear from new voices and points of view. And, is there any possibility that you could join us, and meet many of us, at the Regional meeting, probably beginning at 1PM, November 6th in Athens? Jonatha

Hi Lindsay, Nice to meet another Ohio Storyteller! I see you are from N. Canton. Just as we are new to your organization, World of Difference is new, to me at least. As someone new to this new website, you may not know much about our organization: OOPS! We serve all of Ohio, surrounding states, and any who just want to join us. Dues are modest, at $15 per year. We have a conference each year, the upcoming one is April 29, 30, May 1, in Mt. Vernon, OH. We have a quarterly newsletter. We have Regional meetings twice a year to meet our members and recruit. Our next regional is Nov. 6 in Athens, OH, library. Another service for members is a page on the OOPS website. You can see that we have a lot to offer members, please join. Plus, we want to meet you, and to hear your stories! We want to know more about World of Difference. And we want to keep you on this website! Sincerely Jonatha Wright, OOPS! President
