Stories with Dr. Kevin Cordi

Join storyteller Kevin Cordi for an evening of tales with themes drawn from Lake Valley on view now at the College of Wooster Art Museum. 

Kevin shares stories with a highly energetic, animated and interactive style and is considered by many storytelling professionals as one of the most influential and dynamic storytellers and teachers today.  His award-winning story work has been commissioned by The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, American Library Association, National Storytelling Network, Newsweek, and the Qatar Foundation International.   

Presented in connection with the CWAM exhibition Lake Valley by Rachel Rose, on view through May 14. Lake Valley presents an immersive, fantastical, and colorful world that explores human fears and desires around tedium, adventure, abandonment, and longing for companionship. Ignored on a lonely day, an imagined pet leaves its family’s suburban home to look for friendship in an ethereal storybook landscape. Exhibition on loan and programs sponsored by Art Bridges. 

Dr. Kevin Cordi traverses around the country and world reminding others that there is rich value in play. His work has been modeled in schools and storytelling organizations around the country. He has been a gas station attendant, grill cook, door-to-door salesperson, and a bus boy. All of this has helped him want to be involved in play more. Whether he is working with a teenager to mix a fairytale, listening to a whole company to tell their story of their business better, or performing for a crowd of 1000, he uses play because this is where the true work is found in story crafting.
