Minnesota Public Radio presents Storycraft with Kevin Kling, an evening of master Twin Cities’ storytellers bringing innovation to live storytelling and giving new form to a story told.

Kling has been leading story telling workshops in Duluth and St. Paul with Minnesota’s best live storytellers. This showcase is the fruit of months of workshop labor. The best indentified storytellers in the region have gathered for this experiment in defining advances in the craft of storytelling. This specific community has become MPR content contributors with on-air and on-line commentaries and stories featured on All Things Considered.
Wednesday April 25th in the UBS Forum engage with stories, poems, music and films by Joseph Scrimshaw, Loren Niemi, Courtney Maclean, Allegra Lingo, Gary Dop and Barbara Wiener and other members of the Storycraft workshops. Our storytellers will be asking the question “what do we trust”, along with original stories performed by Kevin Kling.
Tickets for this literary evening will be limited to 130 and will be on sale 4/10 at the MPR Box Office for $15, and discounted to $12 for MPR Members. The Box Office is open Tuesday-Friday 12pm-5pm and tickets may be purchased over the phone 651-290-1200.

“Standing Heat” Three-Week Series curated by Artistic Associate Holly Hughes, May 4-6, 11-13, 18-20, 2012
Links Hall, Chicago, IL
“The New Work of Dogs, author Jon Katz insists that animals work as much in contemporary urban culture as they’ve ever done in any period in human history. But it’s a different kind of work; it’s the difficult work of loving us. We have become the sheep that drift towards the unmapped darkness at the edge; animals bring us back to the meadow.”
The performances in this series map the shifting boundaries between the animal and human, always reminding us of the animal in the human.
“Chicken Soup for the Chickens” with Minneapolis based story-teller, Kevin Kling; Saturday, May 12, 8 pm & Sunday, May 13, 7 pm
“Jungian analyst James Hillman writes about the Durer etching of Dame Melancholy with her dog at her feet, Robert Bly said we as a nation developed a neurosis when we stopped working with large animals. Martin Luther said he wished he could pray “like my dog looks at meat.” Medieval bestiaries prescribed sleeping next to a dog to cure internal illness. When I get down or depressed, I just look at our wiener dogs because you’ll never see a more can do attitude in a more can’t do body than a wiener dog.”
