for a platform for community dialogue
All arts are brothers, each is a light to the other.
We use stories when
we recount our day, tell a joke or describe a new friend, but sometimes,
professional or not, it can be daunting to tell to an audience.
A story tells the teller. You are part of the audience. Participation, letting children or adults
enact bits of the story, breaks down the fourth wall so carefully erected in
theatre, releasing humour and humanity.
It is a chance for the unexpected, keeping each telling playful and
unique. Preparing props can be a great
panacea for nerves and also refreshes a story you have told a thousand times.
The workshop will
explore participation in all types of story; call and response moments,
rhythmic cumulative stories, dressing up in folktales and epics. There will be
a chance to use found objects to meditate on a story you love, to see it from a
new angle.About Xanthe Gresham-KnightXanthe Gresham Knight has been telling stories for over twenty years.
