About Noa Baum

Storytelling is the intersection of my work as a performance artist, author, and educator. I focus on the transformative power of storytelling both as performance art and an applicable tool to heal across differences and build bridges of understanding, compassion and peace.

My art form can be described as Performance Storytelling – borrowing from principles of traditional storytelling as well as using tools from theater through the mixing of narration and characterization to evoke a story in the audiences’ imagination.

I love connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds through stories. I enjoy telling stories from cultures around the world as well as my Jewish heritage. I use stories to promote appreciation of differences, foster collaboration, and spark innovation. I love witnessing the shift in attitude and smiles as workshop participants experience the transformative power of story.

But most rewarding is when people come up after a presentation to share their story with me: “That reminded me of a story …”, then I know my work has reached the most important place - their heart.
