In this creative and practical workshop, Pomme will explore some of the seeds with you, using: writing; telling; improvisation; visualisation; movement; drawing; sound; discussion and sharing. You will not have a 'finished' story at the end, but the potential of one, and many ways of approaching the telling of it.
This workshop can be done by beginners or experienced storytellers alike, each working to their own level of experience. You do not need to bring a story, but bring a notebook and pen, and comfy clothes.
Sally Pomme Clayton has been telling stories for more than 35 years and has distilled her long practice into '24 Story Seeds', narrative seeds that exist inside traditional stories that can guide the teller and help shape their performance. These seeds range from story genre to hidden rhythm, from structure and ways of using sound, to finding characters and developing dialogue. The '24 Story Seeds' are just waiting for storytellers to find them.
