Regi Carpenter performs as ISC’s Teller-in-Residence October 16-20, 2012

The International Storytelling Center is pleased to welcome Regi Carpenter from New York as this week’s teller in residence.

Regi Carpenter, a fourth generation St. Lawrence ‘river rat,’ tells stories of growing up on a great river, folktales, fairy tales and musings of everyday life. She has shared her work at numerous festivals including the St. Louis and the Ojai Storytelling Festivals. A recipient of the Leonard Bernstein Fellowship for Teaching Artists, Carpenter has also been awarded the Parents’ Choice Gold award, and the Parent’s Guide to Children’s Media award.

“Regi Carpenter has a voice that dances. It can, at a moment’s notice, be light as a feather, frisk about playfully, or leap with sudden power. Best of all is the sheer joy she communicates in telling her tales.” –School Library Journal
