The sixth annual Michigan Story Festival will have a new focus on Michigan themes and topics. Programming highlights national and regional storytellers, performers, and exhibitions throughout the community. Storytelling workshops for K-12 educators; programs at area schools; outreach to senior citizens at their centers; elements of story such as art, movement, quilts, recipes, photo essays, music, and the spoken word are all showcased. Programming brings together an intergenerational audience from the greater central Michigan area, celebrates diversity and culture, and highlights narrative as the common thread tying past to present. The festival places an emphasis on interdisciplinary art forms and their connections to the humanities. A special on the Michigan Story Festival will be taped and broadcast on CMU’s public television station.
