Spontaneous Combustion

Tandem telling is two or more tellers sharing one story. Here we bring together our experience with solo telling, improvisation, story theatre, and cooperative recreation, all of which we also teach. Since 1979, we have been telling traditional and contemporary stories for schools, libraries, book stores, hospitals, churches, summer camps, fairs, Kiwanis Clubs, corporate events, birthdays, etc. Themes we like include: conflict resolution, youth empowerment, cultural diversity, disabilities, wisdom, and where stories come from. Based in Redwood City, CA, we perform most often between San Francisco and San Jose, but we do travel beyond the Bay Area to do performances and workshops, usually for Kiwanis or Quaker related events.
