About Alaska Storytellers

When two people dance together for years, magical things can happen.  In the year of covid, with no cruise ships and very little dancing, Kris Wilcox and Cynthia Gibson spent the summer snorkeling in the cold Alaskan waters.  Cold dipping is supposed to be good for you after all.  Well, after an especially long cold snorkel, they were warming up in a sauna and an idea hit. Why not combine their love of dance and history and thus Alaska Storytellers™ was hatched.

Wilcox thinks best on the move, making dance and teaching dance a true life passion.  Her vision and direction have been at the center of making Alaska Storytellers™ come alive.

Gibson, curious by nature, spends much of her free time outside collecting and creating things found in the woods and on the beaches of Alaska.  She directed the overall look of the show and how to bring our stories to life.  Her love of nature, history and education come together in this creative production.

Wilcox and Gibson are captivated by Alaska’s enriching stories that weave in the cultures, the larger-than-life characters and the captivating tales comprising Alaska’s historical tapestry. They hope you will forever remember the stories from this inspiring and entertaining perspective.
