Radioactive Dropkick: Hitting My Own Mark (2016 Radio Race)

Name of group "Kaleo" 

Group member: Willow Evans, (registered on Brown Paper Tickets)

    My father was an incredible story teller, this weekend is the one year anniversary of his death and I wanted to spend this time telling a story to commemorate his life now that he is "Out of Range." (He is featured in a snipet of archival tape from when I was 9. 
 This story looks at the concept of the effects of being "Out of Range."
Does it causes a sense of regret and failure? or is it comforting,
and can it make one feel more human?   (12 hour in additional paragraph was split into two, reconstructed and posed as questions.)
    Special thanks to composer Bobby Tahouri. And another grateful thank you to Fred Sugerman, Elizabeth Coca and Alan for giving their time and thoughtful answers while being interviewed.

    Fred Sugerman founded Medicine dance which he performs and teaches.

    Alan is a professional musician and teacher.

    84 year old Elizabeth Coca, was "Sister Gerard" for 18 years. When she left the Convent and became "Sister Spontaneity." She got married and had a child. She has worked as a teacher and taught over 50,000 students over 64 years. Now as a prolific performance artist, she gives one woman shows where  all of her shows start "Out of Range" with the word "Beyond."

Every family has stories they won't tell the kids — like the reason dad was different when he came back from that business trip. In 1995, Fabiola was too young to know what happened in El Salvador. In 2016, her father’s ready to tell her. The Kidnapping was produced by The Canadian Tuxedoes: Vanessa Greco, Debbie Pacheco, and Fabiola Carletti.

Cranberry Dreams

I am an independent radio producer and children's book author/publisher living in Los Angeles, CA. I founded Kidwick Books (http://www.kidwick.com) where I write, publish and produce picture books and audio for the younger set. (3-7)

I completed the Transom Story Workshop in the end of 2012 and am honing my craft and finding my voice, just like my character, Ellison (the elephant).
