Provocative and poignant stories of life told with grace and just the right touch of humor. He is a very physical teller who enlivens the stage with vivid images that capture both the heart and mind of the listener. Andre always leaves me thinking about his stories long after the performance has ended. Often I even learn a thing or two about life!

Andre brings a potent sense of story when he steps on stage and his low key, conversational style of telling invites the audience into the heart of the tale. He is acutely aware of the needs of the audience, himself and the story, which seems like a small thing but is the very essence of authentic telling.

Andre's stories come straight from his heart into the hearts' of his audience. He leaves his listeners with thought provoking images and healing messages that linger long after the story has been told.

Andre Heuer is a wonderfully courageous and effective performing artist. His work is an example of the power found in the heart (and root) of theater--the sharing of story. Somehow Andre manages to gracefully combine the freshness and audience-driven responsiveness of a great storyteller with meaning-creating details of gesture and moment-by-moment intention. This combination of responsiveness, gesture, and intention is a significant and rare accomplishment and a gift to the audience, particularly because Andre's spirit of unwavering generosity welcomes the audience into his beautifully crafted world.

When we were planning our summer workshop series we were a little nervous about using a storyteller. We needn't have worried! Andre was well prepared, had an engaging style, and was really very well received by our audience. Through his personal stories and interactive exercises, participants were able to see how storytelling can help us and our clients.

His approach was especially helpful in dealing with trauma, which is present in the histories of so many of our clients and see how much their current thinking and behavior has been influenced by the history of their family milieu.

I met Andre Heuer during the American Imagery Institute conference in Minneapolis. I was the Chairperson for his workshop entitled Imagery from the Perspective of the Theories of Multi-Intelligence. I am impressed with what he has to offer in the area of using mental imagery in psychotherapy and healing, so impressed that I did not miss his second workshop on Saturday entitled Healing Through the Evoking, Structuring and Telling of Stories. Andre, as a psychotherapist and a storyteller, has taken the tool of storytelling to perfection. Through his storytelling Andre is effective in exciting in others their ability to heal and grow. Andre made me eager to learn more to perfect my own ability to tell healing stories whether they are cultural, family or personal stories.
