Introduction: Using movement and narration as the foundation of her work, Elaine Muray's Embodied Voice StoryArts explores the use of a synthesis of art forms in storytelling, including music and magic. Her selections of material are adaptations of folktales from around the world as well as original material, suitable for both children and adults. Elaine has studied with the masters of physical theater including Tony Montanaro. Since 2003, Elaine has been under the personal direction of Paata Tsikurishvili, artistic director of Washington D.C's Synetic Theater, winner of multiple awards for direction and choreography. In late 2005, Elaine was a featured teller and workshop leader at the Australian Storytelling Festival in Perth. Elaine has a Bachelor's in Social Work and an ESL Teaching Certification. She is a member of YES (Youth and Educators in Storytelling), a Special Interest Group of the National Storytelling Network.
