Naomi Steinberg has set off to go around the planet with no airplane, carrying the story of Goosefeather, a performance which combines traditional storytelling technique together with movement and clowning, and is based on interviews Naomi undertook with her grandfather in Paris. He taught her a lot about the meter, measurement, and map-making. Now compelled to feel through space and time in a different way, performing the story and inviting audiences to join her in the inquiry. The first leg of her journey was by cargo ship – 21 days across the Pacific from Los Angeles, USA to Melbourne, Australia.  From Australia, another cargo ship brought her to Hong Kong in time to celebrate the New Year, and now she finds herself in Beijing ready to share in story and delight.

Naomi is an accomplished performer, storyteller, and site-specific installation artist. With over 14 years experience, she knows how to seduce her audiences through a provocative mix of political thought and artistic content. She tells her stories in a unique voice, with an evocative gestural language. One listener came away from Naomi’s performance saying: ““I got a bit tongue-tied after your concert. You and your stories took my breath away! Your use of language (both verbal and non) were all amazing.” Shoshana Lipman, professional storyteller, 2012
