Yesterday I went to Auburn Elementary School to practice some of the new material that I have been working on to present in Ireland. Being a one woman traveling show I have to find non paying audiences to rehearse in front of before presenting the new material for a paying group. Usually the teacher's are very open to letting me come in and try out my new material because I talk about how I create my stories and how writing fits into creating works of music. I am usually invited to present during their language arts block. The stories I presented yesterday were The Three Sneezes (a Swiss/French folktale), Hold on, Jimmy! (an original story that I wrote), and two new songs My Grandpa Likes Sadines and Messy Room.
