Sue Kuentz

Description

Storyteller Sue Kuentz excites and connects to family and adult audiences by taking them on journeys through her multicultural folktales, fairy tales, urban legends, and personal stories from around the world. Using words, music, puppetry, and even string figures, she engages active participation among listeners, mesmerizing audiences. Sue’s storytelling passion and energy originated from her 32 years as an elementary teacher and librarian in San Antonio. She has been a featured regional teller at the Texas Storytelling Festival as well as entertaining young and old audiences in schools, libraries, festivals, and conferences throughout Texas such as the Grand Kids Fest in Galveston, the Texas Library Association Conference, and the Texas Storytelling Festival. Sue enjoys preparing performances and workshops based on the wants and needs of the client such as summer reading programs, and seasonal and environmental themes. As a frequent presenter of workshops on integrating storytelling into the classrooms and libraries, Sue’s residencies have motivated schools and libraries to involve storytelling in their programs, empowering all to find their own voices. ‘She has continued her journey as an infectious force in the world of storytellers.’ Photo by Stuart Cunyus.
