Kim Kilpatrick & Sherri Yazdani
present
“Let the Games Begin!”
The Olympics may be over but their excitement continues! Hear the true stories of athletes who faced great odds to compete for Canada. Join us as we journey from the earliest days of the Games to the turning point of the 20th century, and then on to the modern day. This concert showcases the individual dedication and quest for honour that prompts athletes to face great risk in order to represent their countries at the greatest games on earth.
Sherri Yazdani – As a child, few events brought Sherri Yazdani as much dread as the annual track and field meet. Always the last one to cross the finish line, she avoided even thinking about athletics. A storyteller for the past five years, Sherri is drawn to stories of the human condition. And it was there she found the connection…for these are not stories of mere athletic prowess, but of the indomitable spirits who took on the quest for gold.
Kim Kilpatrick – Kim is a former Paralympian and is now a veteran storyteller. She grew up in a sports-loving family and has participated in many athletic activities. Her family also includes many storytellers. In this program, she combines these two passions. Kim has told stories at the NAC Fourth Stage and at storytelling festivals in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, and Saint Mary’s, in schools, cafes, and many other venues.
