What happens?

This is an independent storytelling training project that has been running weekend workshops for the past 3 years. It started out of a out of a rising demand from friends and wider circles to find more opportunities to explore folktales and myths alongside public speaking skills. This has evolved into regular in-person workshops in a private studio space and secluded garden in central Bristol.

Raven’s journey to black, a cart full of Death’s worn out clogs and the cat that caught the moon… Participants bring a story to work with and I share some of my creative process and research into comparative folklore and orality studies, all with a playful and practical focus exploring story through movement, improv and stand-up telling technique. In this way participants and their chosen story are guided through the initial steps of learning to tell with joy in front of an audience.
