Choreographed by Megan Jasurda for "This Island Earth" by Leslie Slape and Don Correll. Developed by Dylan Disch, Corey Farmer, Kylee Gano, Carl Tobias Jansen, Seth McNally, Derek Mesford, Emily Soule, T.J. Wistrick. Performed in the dark at the top of every performance. From the program: 'Tribal Dance. Close your eyes and listen to the wonderful music of nature as wind spreads fire and rain puts it out.' From the review in the Columbia River Reader by Ed Phillips: 'A final word about the tribal dance in the dark. It is a dance and it is in the dark. You can't see it. Hearing is enough. Give credit to choreographer Megan Jasurda and the performers. The price of admission has been covered before the lights go on.'

Leslie Slape, storyteller -- Tell Me a Story (sing-along) LeslieSlape - 153 views - 8 months ago
My signature tune, "Tell Me a Story," in a variation designed for audiences to sing along with.
Come to me and tell a story, make it one from days of old. Let it have a bit of magic and a hero bold (repeat)
Chorus: Tall tales, small tales, ancient myths and legends. Round the circle we will go, sharing all we know (repeat)
Tell a tale that gives me shivers, tell me one that makes me weep, tell a tale that's soft and tender, soothing me to sleep (repeat)
Chorus
Come to me and tell a story of a woman, wise and strong. Tell a tale of gods and mortals, tell me one of right and wrong (repeat)
Chorus
Come and tell me tales of mystery, tales of tricksters, tales of woe, tales that teach us, tales that heal us, tales that never let us go (repeat)
Chorus
Tell a tale that gets me laughing, one you heard when you were small. Every tale is like a treasure, let me hear them all (repeat)
Chorus
Come to me and tell me a story for I love them so.
