Dana Sherry and Cathryn Fairlee will be performing exotic “Silky Road Tales” from Central Asia. Dana and Cathryn have both explored the cultures of the Silk Road out of love and fascination. We will provide the camels – join us!
Cathryn Fairlee is a full time, traveling storyteller, and an independent, published scholar. She adds the ingredients of a world traveler, singer, writer, actress, comedian and librarian to her story recipes.
Her favored, flavored tales are juicy epics, myths, and historical legends – the older the better.
Dana Sherry was a respectable historian of Central Asia until she turned to a life of storytelling. Now she brings folk tales from the heart of the Silk Road alive and transforms historical events into tales of wonder and horror. She also hosts the Caravan of Stories at the Silk Road House in Berkeley, a monthly storytelling series dedicated to the oral traditions of Central Asia.
