SUMMARY:Christopher Nelson “I Have My Ways: Teaching Stories”
DESCRIPTION:In “I Have My Ways: Teaching Stories”\, retired elementary school teacher Christopher Nelson shares some of the funny\, alarming\, and touching stories from his career as an educator. Sufian Zhemukhov joins with his guitar for a wonderful night of stories and music! \nTeller bios: \nChristopher Nelson- Drawing on my experiences as an educator\, I learned the power of a good story in the classroom. After retirement\, I found the American School of Storytelling\, attending open mic nights and classes. My narrative approach finds humor in small observations and meaning in ordinary lives. I try to balance softness and honesty that feels comforting and true. \nSufian Zhemukhov- an award-winning author and performer. Sufian’s solo shows have been featured off-Broadway and nationwide. NPR presented his show Flirting Like an American as “a show about romance\, culture\, and one immigrant’s story” and his show From Russia Without Love as “an escapist James Bond parody.” Sufian’s stories are based on his personal experience as a first-generation immigrant and political analyst\, which might be funnier than it sounds. He served as the 2023 Teller in Residence at the International Storytelling Center\, received the 2020 JJ Reneaux Emerging Artist Award from the National Storytelling Network\, and his research won the 2019 Best Book Award from the International Studies Association. \n
