Storytelling Weekend

Fri 16 June 2023 - Sun 18 June 2023

Course Fee / From £295 - £350 per person

Genre / Storytelling

Language / English

The folktales, fairy tales and myths of our ancestors are the building blocks for every story that has been told since, including plays, novels, poetry, and screenplays. The ancient tales continue to inspire poets, artists, authors and dramatists today. Shocking, magical, touching and profound, our traditional tales define human experience. Oral storytelling is experiencing an extraordinary revival, with groups regularly gathering to hear and tell traditional tales all over the country. This storytelling course is a chance to learn how to adapt and tell the myths, legends and folktales that are our birth-right. This course will focus on the craft of oral storytelling, and performing our stories to an audience. By the end of the course, everyone will have developed a short piece to perform in front of your co-storytellers in a supportive environment, and to develop further after the course ends.

Daniel and Phil will curate a weekend of activities suitable for those who are brand new to the craft of storytelling, and also those with some experience – including storytellers who have been on similar courses with the tutors in the past.
