October 27, 2020 - CAPTURED BY THE TROLL
To be caught by a troll in folklore can mean being gobbled up or, at the least, being trapped and used for someone else’s purposes. For women in particular, real-life trolls often take the shape of a husband or intimate partner. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The Storytellers of New Mexico asked Regina to organize their next Stories at a Distance on line event. Regina invited three women, Talia Pura, Rosalie Zerrudo, and Shari Wagner, to tell their own, very different stories. Regina opens the evening with an incredible Grimm's tale that is a perfect metaphor for DV. Join them on Oct. 27th, and perhaps tell a story of your own for the open mic.
Captured by the Troll
Tuesday, October 27th, 7:00 PM Mountain time (9 PM Eastern time). The event is free; donations welcomed.

September 24th, 2020 ZOOMCARE BEHIND BARS
Rosa Zerrudo, cultural worker and a community-teaching artist in the Philippines, invited Regina to bring some stories and storytelling to a group of women inmates in the Iloilo City jail. It was part of the series of healing arts workshops she leads for them. Regina told stories and discussed the situations, metaphors, and ideas in the stories in relation to the women's lives. Regina has brought multi-arts programs to a number of women's prisons in the US, but this was a double first: in the Philippines and on-line. A challenging and profound experience. |
