Jimmy Neil Smith, Founder and President of the International Storytelling Center believes that “Roslyn Bresnick-Perry is a national treasure. Her work reflects what is at the very heart of storytelling: culture, memory, relationship and artistry. And like all the best stories, hers are universal, reminding us what it means to be human.”
Roslyn holds a special place in the world of Jewish Storytelling culture, yet her work around the country and beyong makes her a significant figure for all people. She possesses a unique perspective and voice that she shares with diverse audiences in venues both large and small. Whether at home in New York or someplace else in the world, Roslyn speaks with authority in both her writings and her oral storytelling. She is funny, articulate, and passionate and her stories spand great distances and decades of the weentieth century. From a Belarus shtetl (Jewish village) in pre-Holocaust Europe, where she spent her childhood, through immigration, to post-war New York City and her years in the garment industry as a senior designer, Roslyn breaks down preconceptions and prejudices and celebrates connections and diversity.
Roslyn will share her passion for life in the telling of "Naughty Bawdy Senior Stories," a collection of stories from seniors who believe, "although there is snow on the roof, it doesn't mean the fire is out." In spite of the fact that there is much lost in aging, sex does go on. Though not as all-consuming as the passions of youth, you will be surprised by the fun, laughter and emotions that result when seniors fall in and out of lvoe...and bed.
This is the first time that Roslyn will be performing in Indianapolis. To learn more about her visit her web site.
