Biography:
Storyteller, Workshop Leader, Artist, Writer, Poet St. Louis
With her sure dramatic sense, her energy, clarity, rhythmic variety andintense communication, January always provides a riveting, stirring evening ofstorytelling. (St Louis Riverfront Times)
She's blessed with a keen sense of timing, a wide range of nuance, an ability to get deep beneath the surface of characters and their actions...the results are spellbinding. (St Louis Post Dispatch)
I mostly just plainly loved you. (Third Grader)
January ran her own storytelling company for years, presenting solo and ensemble works nationally. Twice a featured teller at the St Louis Storytelling Festival, and the host and star ofa monthly Story Cabaret at St. Louis' Center of Creative Arts, Kiefer counts dozens of schools, universities and cultural institutions among her many venues.
She leads workshops on storytelling, on creativity, and on the spiritual journey. With a Doctor of Ministry in Theology and the Arts, she ministered to congregations as an ordained pastor. She now officiates at memorial and other services for people of all beliefs. Storytelling is at the heart of all her endeavors.
