New stories

During my last trip to Oaxaca I got to stretch my storytelling skills daily with three stories, which I told over and over. I learned to use audience participation, gauge timing, and use funny voices and repetition to good effect. It was challenging and fun at the same time. In anticipation of a future trip I'm pouring through a treasure chest of Latin American folk tales by Olga Loya, which was the source of my 3 very well-received tales. For my own sanity I need 3 new stories!

I'm working on getting the details of the Possum and Coyote story down, and Gladys loves this one. I think because the rather sneaky Possum has a mischievous streak like her.
