Storytelling

The Storytelling Tent

Visiting the storytelling tent at Art in Action is always a magical and engaging experience for all ages. This year is no exception. A new group of talented and enthusiastic storytellers will be telling tales from across the world – the only question is which ones to choose!

Stories will be told throughout the day, and there will be a workshop, open to all ages, at 3pm each day.

The Storytellers - Please note, our website currently shows information about those who participated in Art in Action 2012. We will begin updating the site from January 2013 as the storytellers are confirmed for next year's show.

Author and intricate storyteller, Peter Weigall entrances all with the magical and courageous tale of Odysseus, who meets friendship, danger and adventure in his Mediterranean quest to return home to his wife and son.

Sanskrit scholar and teacher, Warwick Jessup, draws on Indian sacred stories to bring to us translated tales of family, love, betrayal and revenge.

Dutchman Iwan Dam cooks up a special treat for audiences old and young by preparing a meal and sharing it while telling his story of love and loss.   The slicing, dicing and cooking of the food merge with his words to create a memory of something both touching and poignant.

Anna Marshall, pupeteer and director, will run workshops every day at 3pm.  Participants of the Storytelling Workshop will have the opportunity to create sock puppets and tell their own stories.
