Storytelling Events in
Surrey Until end of October
2009
Please feel free to pass onto to your
networks
Hi Folks
There are 6 storytelling events for adults in Surrey between now and the end of October (more to
come in November and December!!) Details all
below!
The Three Heads in A
Well Storytelling Circle has some exciting guests
for the autumn, and we continue to welcome people to come and tell a
story too!
The Waxing Lyrical Storytelling practice and coaching group is
developing nicely. We have an open format – so even if you don’t have a
story to tell yet - come along, you can join in the exercises, listen to
other people practicing and you may pick up a few tips on the way.
The Fearsome Fairy Tales for Fearless Adults Tour of Surrey is now
underway. Members of the Surrey Storytellers Guild are visiting different
venues in Surrey to share the magic of
storytelling for adults with new audiences. It will be a different
combination of storytellers each time – so you can keep going back! Please feel free to attend them-
there will be open mike spots at them- so feel encouraged to offer a
story!
There are two storytelling workshops for adults for the autumn. Alex
is doing a beginners course, and Shonaleigh Cumbers (who is our guest in
November) is running a voice workshop. Please book early for both as they
are both proving to be popular !
Plus the Guildford Book Festival has some storytelling
events!

Shonaleigh
Cumbers - Voice Workshop for Storytellers
“We will be covering basic vocal
technique because "the worst story to be told is the one you can't
hear". We use narrative to make sense of the world, we use story to
navigate our way through. The
person, child or adult who can tell a story has also developed the
confidence to communicate in a job interview, to mediate in an argument and
the confidence to know who they are.
We live in a world of Bebo, Facebook, text and email; many young
adults find it easier to communicate electronically than enter into a
dialogue face to face.” Suitable for beginners and people
who have some experience of telling
stories.
Venue: The Sanctuary.St. Michael's Church,Church
Street,Ewell,
Surrey. KT17 2AS.
Time: 10-4pm (Please
arrive from 9.30am for refreshments)
Price: £25 (subsidized rate)/
£20 concessions
Booking: Please book a place with Janet on 07834

October
: Ben Haggarty & Sianed Jones –
Frankenstein :
Enter a world of feverish dreaming, as storyteller Ben
Haggarty and musician Sianed Jones present an intense steam punk
interpretation of Mary Shelley’s modern myth. Two master performers explore
the nature of the consciousness of a man made by man and the responsibility
of the creator towards the created. Truly a story for our time, Frankenstein
speaks of power unleashed and our fear of the
unknown.
