Curriculum Vitae / Resume:

June Barnes-Rowley (JB) has always been a storyteller whether curled up in the hayshed telling stories to herself or sitting under a gum tree telling stories to her younger siblings.

As a working storyteller JB has extensive experience in storytelling with children and adults in Australia and overseas.

Children respond immediately to her energetic and fun performances. JB uses colourful visuals such as fabric, puppets and "wishing paper' to create wonderful worlds for young children who are also fascinated by her clapping sticks that stir sounds of the Dreamtime. Her performances for children focus on fun, action and interaction!

Adults are held spellbound by JB's powerful performances of ancient legends such as Sheherezade and stories of Australia.

She has won several storytelling awards including the ABC Hope 2011 story competition with a story called The Flowerdale Tattoo which resulted from her storytelling tour of the Victorian Bushfire Communities.

JB has extensive experience in storytelling at an enormous variety of venues including the Melbourne Moomba Festival, Government House in Victoria, ABC Radio and the Channel 31 Storytime television programme.

JB is founder of 'swag of yarns', Australia's National Storytelling Magazine, a member of The Storytelling Guild of Australia (Vic. Branch).
