Storyteller, singer, songwriter, dancer, and oral history performer
Anndrena Belcher
Discover Your Own Story!
Using folk tales, personal story, songs, poetry, and original writing and movement in a way that reflects both her eastern Kentucky, coalfields roots, and her “multi-ethnic, port of entry, Uptown, Chicago” migration experience, Ms. Belcher reveals how “everybody has a story that counts in the making of history.” Anndrena’s workshops focus on finding the pieces of the story puzzle using traditional games, rhythms, songs, a and most important of all, acknowledging the treasure each and every one of us possess, the “living memory”. Come ready to play. There is no way to make a mistake in this workshop.
