In 2015, Naomi Steinberg completed a 382 day adventure, covering 55,965 kilometres around the world by road and rail, land and sea, performing a playful and profound one-woman show that questions the very nature of modern connection. Crossing 18 borders to perform 37 productions everywhere from Japan to Russia to Belgium to the middle of the ocean, upon the decks of a cargo ship, she explored what it means to tell a truly universal story.

“An open hearted, clear, loving and exciting story of one woman’s journey across our planet. A testament to making and keeping connections.”
– Alma Lee, founder of the Vancouver International Writers Festival

She researches academia, movement, clown, gestural vocabulary, and vocal dynamics to enhance storytelling performance. Her evocative storytelling work has been covered in The Huffington Post and Plank Magazine and she has facilitated workshops for organizations including MOSAIC, EcoTrust, and the European Parliament.
