We have gone from telling stories around the campfire and kitchen tables to the stage, the page, the screen and ways our Elders could not have imagined. Still, it’s storytelling. Drew Hayden Taylor will explore his journey from my grandfather's bonfire to today's multi-media approach to weaving tales. It's an unexpected sojourn of adventure and humour.

Drew Hayden Taylor is an award winning playwright, journalist, filmmaker and novelist.
