SPEAKERS:
9:45 a.m. - Rosie Cutrer
has been telling stories professionally for the past fourteen years
presenting at schools, libraries, museums and festivals. She has
also been invited to perform at the state storytelling festival
in Downs, Kansas, the St. Charles Missouri River Festival, The Land
Rush Festival in Choctaw, Oklahoma, The Tumbleweed Festival in Garden
City and the Homestead National Monument in Beatrice, Nebraska.
In 2007, she was a regional teller at the National Storytelling
Conference in St. Louis, Missouri.
Rosie learned the art of storytelling as a teacher, through her
studies of theater in college and later in professional and community
theater productions. Cutrer also has received storytelling coaching
from other area storytellers and at numerous national storytelling
conferences.
In between stories Rosie performs songs accompanying herself on
the banjo. You can learn more more about her programs at her website:
www.rosiecutrer.com.
Cutrer is a lifelong resident of Topeka, Kansas. She and her husband
Bill have eight grandkids who range in age from two to sixteen years
and yes she practices most of her material on her family. Rosie
finds that her family members are her best critics, especially the
kids. They'll tell her things about her stories and music that adults
might be afraid of saying. All in all Cutrer finds life on the road
as a storyteller personally fulfilling as well as interesting. Who
knows? Rosie might find an interesting story to tell at the Expo
on Tuesday, September 22!
