Novak's telling of Gilgamesh at the Provincetown Playhouse yesterday
was a gorgeous combination of storytelling, theatre and sharing of
thoughts about the nature of human existence woven together with the
ease of a master performer.”

2010 Antler Hill Village opened at The Biltmore Estate in Asheville,
NC. David was invited to coach hosts on their stories and presentation
skills
Hi everyone -
I
just wanted to make sure I said "thank you" for the wonderful training
experience. It was so much more than training! I think we learned a lot
about ourselves and each other as we created our stories. Thank you for
bringing David in, because he is truly a treasure - I think we may have
sensed how to create a story before, but he gave us a form and
perspective that helped immensely! I know this week has changed how I
think about stories - no matter where I am!
Thank you so much!
Jennifer, Host, Biltmore Estate
David was one of a select group
of storytellers
invited to participate in a special retreat for the
sponsors of Breast Cancer Awareness Month at The Disney Institute in
Orlando, Florida. Attendees were divided into
focus groups, with a storyteller assigned to each. At the end of the
retreat, each group reported on their issue and each storyteller
offered a related performance. David's group was concerned about
proliferation of misinformation on the internet and the
persistence of such myths as the notion that deodorant causes breast
cancer.
