In celebration of the publication of the 3rd edition of Daniel Deardorff’s classic text, The Other Within: The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture and Psyche, the Mythsinger Legacy Project invites you to a community story circle online around the virtual storyfire. Tickets are available at Eventbrite: https://tinyurl.com/thegiftofstory. Advanced registration is encouraged, all ages are welcome. Suggested donation $20-$35 sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds. Together we'll explore the power of Oral Tradition stories and myth-making as the artists recount ancient tales from Deardorff’s book, along with music and archival video. Judith-Kate Friedman, is an award-winning multimedia artist, Mythsinger Legacy Project steward and Daniel’s life-partner. Quanita Roberson, is author of The Inner Ground Railroad and longtime colleague of both Friedman and Deardorff. Through listening and "feeding the story" in conversation, we'll explore the power of myth, honor our dance with the diversities in our lives, look at ways to heal otherness and “othering” in self and society and experience the richness of community that comes about when the old stories are told.
