Noa Baum, Storyteller
Using the Art and Practice of Storytelling
to Connect, Communicate, and Collaborate
“Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.”
Hannah Arendt
Steve Denning, Author of The Leader's Guide To Storytelling
A world-class performance on one of the world's most difficult diversity issues.
Noa's performances are perfect for your company's retreat, diversity awareness programs, and corporate events.
Israeli storyteller Noa Baum began a heartfelt dialogue with a Palestinian woman while living in the United States. She weaves together their memories, and their mothers' stories, to create a moving testimony that illuminates the complex and contradictory history and emotions surrounding Jerusalem, for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Noa Baum takes us behind the rhetoric and headlines to hear the true stories of four women, 2 Israelis and 2 Palestinians. In the process, we experience the most precious ingredient for the resolution of any major conflict: mutual compassion.
Noa's unique story transcends the personal and becomes universal. Your group will experience the power of story to connect people across differences, offering an important starting point for many productive workplace conversations.
4 reasons to bring “A Land Twice Promised” to your organization:
Julie Oyegun, Director, World Bank Group Diversity Programs
Noa uses her personal experience, her exceptional talent, and her nationality to convey the intense politics of diversity, while keeping us connected to our hearts and humanity: she confirms through her work on the complexities of culture and identity, that the political is very personal.
In 75 minutes, with an optional question and answer period at the end, Noa will open hearts and minds in your organization to the possibilities of dialogue—even in the most difficult circumstances.
M.J. Rosenberg, Israeli Policy Forum
The show is decidedly political without being biased....Artfully illustrated that the issues dividing the two peoples today are rooted in their respective views of yesterday.
Rabbi Brian Walt. Rabbis for Human Rights – North America
You have a beautiful way of conveying difficult realities– helping people to hear and empathize with the “other”. The way you gave voice to the different characters in your story was just brilliant.
