A short intermediate course aimed at those who already have some experience of telling traditional tales, led by Ben Haggarty, and packed with exercises, talk, discussion, and telling stories...
This two-day practical workshop looks at the shaping and construction of stories using Indo-European wonder tales (fairytales) as a starting point. In particular it will explore how spoken, improvised language functions within a narrative, and will introduce key compositional tools designed to bring out the emotional life of a story.
Ben Haggarty’s understanding of orality, metaphor, magic and the dramaturgy of performance storytelling is unsurpassed. World renowned for his physical, often challenging performances, Ben has a repertoire of over 350 folktales, fairytales, epics and myths. He’s a much sought after trainer and director, and is currently Visiting Research Fellow in the Creative Arts at Merton College, Oxford.
