Rita Paskowitz
Rita Paskowitz doesn’t just tell stories: she ELECTRIFIES them! Believing that everyone, young or old, is a story waiting to be told, Rita combines her skills as a storyteller, actress, writer, comedienne and improvisationalist into interactive workshops that span the storytelling process. Participants joyously progress from self-discovery to actual performance in a mere five days. Choose an opportunity for your students to build intergenerational relationships, journey through mythology, understand the Holocaust, carve a pathway through pioneer Nebraska, or write and present a personal narrative–whatever storytelling project might cross and coincide with your curriculum or current event. Or let Rita create a residency JUST for you. Using hands-on activities guaranteed to free up even the most hesitant first-time teller, Rita’s goal is not just to focus on excellent storytelling but to illuminate the power of each individual’s life experience and the value of sharing it—while having a WONDERFUL time.
