We all live storied lives. Our stories provide a way to share experiences, life lessons and wisdom with others and can provide inspiration.
Our later years provide the opportunity for us to record our experiences, to tell and share our stories -- goldmines of information about us, our relationships and talents which record our history to be passed down to the next generation.
Join us for an interactive, engaging and productive workshop led by Master Storyteller, Margaret Burk. Bring your memories and energy and be prepared for a rich experience recalling your own stories.
Margaret Burk brings decades of performance, teaching and producing experience to her storytelling programs and workshops. Margaret has a B.A. in Theatre and M.A. in Communication. She taught theatre at Kennedy King College and was a founding member of the Bread and Roses Theatre Company. From 1990 – 2002, she was Director of Development for the Chicago Sinfonietta and was named as “100 Women Making a Difference” in Today’s Chicago Woman Magazine. After a career in arts administration, Margaret returned to her love - the spoken word. She performs throughout the Chicago area and is President of Illinois Storytelling, a state-wide association of storytellers. Margaret believes in the power of story, not only to entertain, but to touch the heart, spark the imagination and embolden the spirit.
