Kiran Shah (Singapore/Australia)

Kiran Shah’s background in social work, early childhood education and as a bookseller all were perfect foundations for her journey into storytelling. She rediscovered her Indian heritage through folktales and is especially interested in bringing Asian folktales to a wider audience. Kiran co-founded the Asian Storytelling Network in 2001, Singapore’s first professional storytelling company. An accredited member of the Australian Storytelling Guild NSW, Kiran continues to share her love for Asian tales at parks, art galleries and schools.
