Tim Greenwood has been living (and re-living) his adventures (and the adventures of others) through stories for decades. A longtime teller at Storytelling Orillia and a regular at festivals like Mariposa, tonight Tim will blend personal narrative with wisdom and folk tales and some recitations to explore how we grow, stumble, and occasionally get it right. This evening’s feature is a mix of poignant and playful: stories from a Canadian boyhood and adulthood; brushes with courage, love, and humility; and a few timeless tales borrowed from traditions that remind us that we’re all in this human comedy together.

The Noise Witch Featured at Story Space online Tue 07/15/2025

To attend via Zoom©: Go to http://www.StorySpace.org In the banner click on “Meeting Invitation” (a new invitation will be posted every Tuesday by 6:00 PM. Otherwise, there will be a placeholder message.) The Noise Witch aka T.J.Banate: The Noise Witch’s storytelling is a portal. It weaves together lush visuals, dreamlike soundscapes, and poetic language with a wild heart and a wink. Through a mix of art, music, magic, and quirky silliness, Noise conjures worlds where personal history becomes myth, and myth feels deeply personal. Their work draws from ancestral memory, neurodivergent perception, and lived experience as a queer, intersex, Filipino creative who lives in the liminal. Each story—whether in song, sketch, ritual, or prose—is a shapeshifter: sometimes tender and soft, sometimes sharp and surreal, always infused with spirit and a sense of wonder. One moment you’re laughing at a comic about ADHD time loops, and the next, you’re inside a vision of rebirth and remembering. This is storytelling that blurs the line between the sacred and the silly, the cosmic and the intimate. It invites you to reflect, feel, laugh, reclaim, and dream all at once. Noise isn’t just telling stories; they’re building portals for others to step through, rediscovering their own creativity, weirdness, and inner mythology along the way.
