Storytelling Sunday: Spirits of Place and Time

This workshop considers the context of stories: the all-important small details that set the scene. It’s a day for beginners and experienced storytellers alike.

All too often, stories are told from an indeterminate time and place, ‘once upon a time somewhere in the world’. How about placing your story in historical time, and actual place? What would they be? We will play with story in different times and landscapes, talk about honouring the source of a story, and discuss the ethics of telling stories from other places and traditions. We will also (weather permitting) go out into the countryside to explore how to become closer to the landscape of the story you’re telling, and look at the use of detail in storytelling.

Workshops are £55 for the day (10am – 4.30pm), including teas / coffees and materials. There is a discount available on three workshops if you book them all together before 8th October (£150 for the three).

Booking is essential, as places are limited. Full payment for the workshop will secure your place.
