Internationally acclaimed storyteller and actor Leigh-Anne Kehler made over 20 kids laugh, sing and dance along as she took them on an Around the World and Back Again adventure.
The second concert of the 2018-2019 Koncerts for Kids series took place on the last day of March at Westview School.
Through her stories, Kehler taught Estevan kids about how children grow in Japan and Central Africa, on the Islands of Samoa and back at home. Together they experienced joy and celebration, fear, strength and bravery.Â
Originally from Altona, Man., Kehler participated in many storytelling festivals all around Canada as well as in Japan, Thailand, Norway and Denmark and also travelled most of the places she discusses in her various storytelling performances.Â
Her deep and often funny stories knit people together, bring understanding, help grow empathy and allow to see some aspects of life from new perspectives.
The Estevan Arts Council’s Koncerts for Kids series will continue on April 18 with Teddy Anderson bringing the Hoop Dancer performance to Westview School.
