TRADITIONAL STORYTELLING: THE CRAFT AND CREATIVE SKILL
A practical, playful weekend workshop for story lovers of all ages 18-118, exploring how to tell stories in the traditional oral style, and excavating the wisdom and joy we gain from this creative craft.
Traditional Storytelling: The Craft and Creative Skill is a weekend for anyone interested in learning how to bring a story to life - whether you want to share tales with friends round the fire, perform on stage, tell stories in formal setting or in your work, or are just curious to see what this craft might bring you. The course also provides transferable skills for public speaking and presenting in an engaging and captivating way.
The weekend is open to complete beginners and those with experience who want to refresh their skills.
It offers two days of exercises, techniques, games and imaginative play, and will include looking at:
- The power of the storyteller’s own imagination and creative craft
- Ways to remember stories without learning a script
- Techniques for making live storytelling vivid and engaging - how to open up the cinema in your listeners' minds and transport people deep into the pictorial realms of wonder, delight and wisdom that the old tales carry.
- Ingredients for building your own confidence with taking the floor and sharing stories, whether you’re an experienced performer/public speaker, or trying it for the first time.
- And more!
There will be the opportunity to do a scratch sharing of stories on the Sunday afternoon.
PLUS: On the Saturday night there will be The Fairy Tale Ceilidh in the venue - a dance party that weaves together ceilidh dancing and storytelling. More info HERE. The course fee includes a ticket to come and enjoy the ceilidh!
The course leader:

She is an associate teacher with the School of Storytelling and performs all round the UK and in Europe. She is also a ceilidh caller and dance facilitator, among other things!
Hannah frequently teaches storytelling to adults and young people alike, on training programmes, at festivals, arts centres, community programmes, education centres, adult courses and online.

Hannah is especially passionate about the work she does combining traditional storytelling with Restorative Justice and community building.
