Sean Buvala

Sean Buvala helps people and places share their story via performance, publishing, public-speaking and parenting.

Sean Buvala has been engaged with storytelling and communication since 1986. He started his work by accidentally using active storytelling to convert a classroom of slightly (but comically) homicidal 8th-grade teenagers from angry kids to storytelling practitioners themselves. From then on, both the kids and Sean were sold on the influence of a great story. An author, speaker, trainer and performance artist, Sean describes the collection of stories in his head as “life and legend” representing the mix of stories from his experiences, myth and legend from many cultures, sacred stories and observations of shared life events.

For those of you who like lists, here's some bits and pieces:

He's the founder and director of "(link hidden)," one of the oldest online organizations dedicated to the art of oral storytelling. It's older than the googley site. Really.

He's a published author with books on many subjects. Go dig around your online bookseller to see.

He's the publisher at "The Small Tooth Dog Publishing Group LLC" in Tolleson, Arizona.

He lives in the desert southwest of the Phoenix, Arizona area.

He gets around. Having presented with Fortune-500 companies and "fortunately, there's just five of us" companies, Sean has worked across the U.S. and Canada, Sean is available for gigs, workshops and events both locally and nationally.

Let us know how we can have Sean help you and your organization. There's a lot more on his website, which you will find elsewhere on this gig site.
