Education and Inspiration through the ancient art of storytelling!
Workshops are available for students, teachers, parents, naturalists, and the clergy. They are available as one hour or two hour presentations, day-long workshops, a week-long Artist-in-Residency, or a semester/year long course. All workshops are experiential; the only way to learn storytelling is by doing it! My experience as a classroom teacher has prepared me to share my talents and ideas in a coherent, step-by-step instructional format, while allowing participants plenty of opportunities for self-expression. All of the workshops listed here are flexible, and I can emphasize certain angles to fit your needs. I have taught at many levels, from preschool and high school to graduate courses and Elderhostel programs. This broad range of experience ensures that each program is tailored to meet the needs of the participants.
Fox is hosting an intensive, three day workshop on Storytelling in Education at his lake house near Galesburg, Illinois. If you are interested in attending please Contact Fox to register. Space is limited.

Funding should never be an issue! Workshops can be supported through Reading First and Eisenhower Foundation grants. Fox is on both the Illinois ArtsTour and Arts in Education rosters, so funding assistance is available through the Illinois Arts Council. Mendel and Audubon have been chosen by the Illinois Humanities Council Roads Scholar Program and they will pay for any public performance in the state of Illinois! Schools can apply for funding through their PTA or PTO, or corporate partners. Smaller school districts can partner with neighboring districts to share travel expenses and fees. Book and CD sales can be used to raise funds. Community organizations can offset costs with ticket sales and by selling ads in the program. If funding is an issue please Contact Fox to discuss possibilities.
