Sat 5th March
“Down the Rabbit Hole- Storytelling Workshop” with Pete Castle and Janet
Dowling in Guildford
A workshop for everyone interested
in storytelling whatever their experience or interests. We will consider
working in the English Tradition- Does it exist? What is it? Why should we?
And shifting the perspective of your
story- whose point of view are you considering? What would happen to your story
if you told it from a different perspective? We will consider different ways of
approaching this and you may be surprised at what you find out about stories
you thought you know.
There will be the opportunity to
network, to ask questions and we’ll end with a story round for you to have a
go.
NB: This workshop will be followed
by an evening performance by Pete and Janet- see info on “Curiouser and
Curiouser”
Price: £50 or £40 concessions
(includes evening performance)
