Kathryn Dudding

As an award-winning author and storyteller (I won the Story Slam at the 2010 National Storytelling Conference in Los Angeles,) I specialize in telling true stories about people who made a difference. Since 1995, I've told stories at many venues in the Northeastern USA. Many of my five CDs have won a national storytelling award. People sometimes ask me why I am a storyteller. One of the reasons is that I love the dance between story, teller and listener. When I am telling a story, I get to watch my audience's faces reacting, and I get to hear their sighs and their laughter and their silences. The power of story connects us eye to eye, mind to mind, heart to heart., a exxpression Liz Weir's uncle used to say.
