Hend Al Qataa was born in Gaza, Palestine,
in 1991. She works as a teacher of English for
the UNRWA in Gaza, and is also a volunteering
storyteller for the Hands Up Project, conducting
weekly live sessions with learners of English.
Telling stories has been a
life long passion for
Hend and so she has worked hard for several
years to make her wish of being a storyteller
come true, taking every opportunity to practice
and research new methods and engage with
other performers and audiences.
In 2017, she won second place
in the Arabic
storytelling competition, conducted at the Arab
World level by Sharek Centre, a London-based
holistic language instruction centre for Arabic
learning. In April 2020, she took part in the
Sharing Timely Tales event hosted by the IATEFL
Global-Get Together.
In October 2020, Hend took a
storytelling
course, The CrEST; Creative and Engaging
Storytelling for Teachers, led by David Heathfield.
In January 2021, she participated in a follow-up
course with the same instructor.
In 2018, Hend took a drama course with Nick
Bilbrough, the founder of the Hands Up Project.
She is also taking a remote theatre course with
him. Being a musician has helped Hend utilize
music in her stories, adding a warm touch to her
performances and making it more powerful.

Here is a
description of the song and tale
Jon Sundell
would be telling in CSF 2022:
Often the right
time and circumstance
motivate us to
learn a transformative
lesson we had
previously avoided.
Jon Sundell (in
North Carolina, USA),
who has been
singing and telling stories
for over fifty
years, pairs the song,
“Mother, the
Queen of My Heart,” by
early country
music singer Jimmy
Rodgers, with a
Mexican folktale
about a rich
man’s son who gets a
second
chance. Both pieces relate
how an
unexpected event provokes
a wayward son to
suddenly heed
the advice of a
long-dead parent.

Rebecca is
Belgian-British, currently based in the
South of Spain.
She tells stories in English, Spanish
and French wherever the wind takes her; Spain,
India, Little
Tibet, the Middle East, Belgium and
online to name
but a few places. Her passion is
to look into
people’s eyes, and travel with them
through stories,
whether in a prison, a yoga school,
a Tibetan
monastery in the Himalaya, a theatre,
or a library.
Rebecca has also participated in
international
festivals such as the National Storytelling
Network
festivals (USA), Munt de Mots festival
(Barcelona) and
Maratón de Cuentos de Guadalajara
(Madrid). In
Spain, she trains primary, secondary
and language
teachers in storytelling techniques for
the Department
of Education of Catalonia, and give
introductory
courses in storytelling skills for teenagers
and adults in
person and online.
Rebecca has a BA in French and Indonesian
literature, and
an MA in Anthropology. Even though
these two
subjects may seem disconnected,
storytelling
brings them together: storytelling is the
literature of
the people! She is currently studying in
an MA programme
in Applied English, taking narratology,
linguistics, and
fairy tale studies amongst other subjects.
She studied ‘El
Arte de Contar Cuentos’ with Numancia
Rojas in
Barcelona for three years, and has done
shorter
workshops with different teachers from
different
backgrounds, including Jan Blake (UK) and
Martha Escudero
(Mexico). She loves learning from
other
professional storytellers and continue to do so
when she has the
opportunity. She has played music
since she was a
child and like to use sounds (flute,
kalimba, voice
and drum) to give a depth to the stories
she tells. Storytelling is a form of communication that
goes way beyond
words; it is a heart to heart interaction,
and that is why
she loves it!

"Lindelwe's
Song" is an original story --
a modern-day
fairytale that celebrates the
power of song.
This is one of my own stories.
It was inspired
by my friendships with several
Xhosa women in
Cape Town, South Africa,
who told me that
without their singing they could
never have made
it through the "thorns of apartheid".
"Lindelwe's Song" is published
in my latest book,
Stories to Light
the Night: A Grief and Loss Collection
for Children,
Families and Communities (Hawthorn
Press, 2021) in
the Section entitled "Loss of Place".
