Storyteller Spotlight: Stephanie Beneteau
Stéphanie was born in Italy to a French-Canadian father and an American mother. She studied litterature, worked in theatre, completed a degree in education and taught as an elementary school teacher before finding her true vocation as a storyteller in 1994.
Since then, Stéphanie has performed professionally in hundreds of schools, concert halls, festivals and libraries in Québec, Ontario and Europe. A fluently bilingual performer and a registered member of the ARTISTS IN SCHOOLS program, Stéphanie has toured Ontario during CANADIAN CHILDRENS' BOOK WEEK and has been a featured speaker and workshop leader at many conferences.
Stéphanie brings old stories from the oral tradition back to life in a lyrical and poetic voice touched with humour. She is particularly interested in stories about women, which she tells in a lively, expressive and compelling style all her own.
