We booked Kim for our Bookfair event at The Learning Ladder Child Development Center in Christiansburg and let me just say she was AWESOME!!! Kim is extremely talented and entertaining, full of life and spunk, and truly enjoys what she is doing! This experience was like none other! Everyone in attendance was amazed with her! The kids were on the edge of their seats listening and participating and singing along! The parents were laughing out loud and having an equally great time! The day after the event, one student from the center in particular was "pretending" to be a storyteller like Ms Kim! Priceless! Kids are singing the songs that Kim performed and still talking about the event! Hopefully, our PTA will be able to bring Kim back to the center for another event! If you haven't seen Kim....what are you waiting for! BOOK HER!!!
Kim preformed in front of 550 Lunch Ladies (school cafeteria workers) at the Hotel Roanoke. She was a sensation. the Ladies loved here. don't let her get away without singing!!!
I recently attended a Weekend Intensive Workshop with Kim Weitkamp. If you've seen her perform you already know how talented she is but, Kim possesses an even rarer gift. She is able to analyze that talent, breaking it into meaningful bits, organize it and communicate this wisdom to those eager to learn. The workshop encompassed the art and business of storytelling. Through instruction, personal coaching and practice, participants learned how to generate new ideas, various ways to structure a story and how to present a story in an engaging and memorable fashion. In addition, we learned proven strategies to grow our storytelling business using traditional methods and social media outlets. The workshop was a unique opportunity to strengthen skills and build new ones under the watchful eye of an amazing woman, who happens to be one of the best storytellers around.
Kim Weitkamp is one of the most talented storytellers in the country today. We began the Storytelling Festival of Carolina five years ago and we've had Kim perform at two of our festivals and have had her back for workshops and children's summer programs a number of times. Blessed with a voice like warm honey, impeccable comic timing, and the ability to write and perform fresh, new material, Kim is enjoying enormous popularity today. Not only is she amazingly talented, she is professional, prompt and prepared. Kim is as nice as she is talented and enjoys getting to know people wherever she goes. After all, that's where she gets the fodder for her wonderful stories. I recommend Kim with no reservations. We love her here in Laurinburg.
