Jumana Moon is a storyteller with a great love of stories, tales, myths & legends of all kinds and has been collecting stories since childhood. They are, she says 'her favourite things'. She is particularly inspired by stories from her Islamic faith: stories from sacred text; folk tales and stories from the tradition of devotional poetry such as Rumi, Jami' & Nizami. The wise trickster/ foolish wiseman Nasrudeen also makes many appearances in Jumanna's storytelling. Jumana has a special love of stories which emphasise the feminine voice and stories of the natural world. Jumana works closely with storyteller Adele Moss and together they offer two full length Muslim-Jewish storytelling pieces: 'Woven Threads & Torn Fabric - the story of Yosef & Zuleikha' and 'Midwives of Freedom: the Women of Exodus'. Jumana also tells a full length solo piece 'Crazy in Love: the story of Layla & Majnun'.
