A beginner's storytelling workshop led by Ben Haggarty, fairytale teller extraordinaire and director of the legendary Crick Crack Club.
This two-day, practitioner-led workshop is aimed at adults with an interest in traditional narratives (folk tale, fairytale, myth and epic) and in their performance. Packed with exercises, talk, discussion, and telling stories, it will give participants an introduction to the core principles of contemporary oral storytelling, the process of visualisation, and of narrative patterns and structure. You’ll discover your innate inner storyteller and begin to appreciate its skills.
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.
