What happens?

​

This is a small-group, two-day storytelling intensive, developed over five years of teaching and performance practice.

​

Working with a maximum of six participants, the weekend offers a focused and supportive space to explore storytelling as a live, embodied art form. Sessions take place in a private studio and garden setting in central Bristol.

​

Participants bring a story to work with — a folktale, myth or narrative that calls to them. Drawing on my background in comparative folklore and orality studies, I guide the group through a creative and practical process of shaping and telling that story.

Through movement, improvisation and spoken performance, we explore how stories live in the body and voice. Along the way: Raven’s journey to black, a cart full of Death’s worn-out clogs, the cat that caught the moon…

​

By the end of the weekend, participants will have taken clear steps towards telling a story with confidence, presence and a sense of play in front of others.

​

Who’s it for?

​

This workshop is open to those new to storytelling, as well as those with experience in performance who want to deepen their practice.

​

Participants often come from a wide range of backgrounds — including artists, educators, therapists, facilitators, academics and entrepreneurs — all with a shared curiosity about story, voice and expression.

​

If you’re interested in developing your confidence, creativity and ability to connect with an audience, this space is designed to support you.
