Sat 5th March
10am-5pm
“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 below on “Curiouser and Curiouser”
