Described by audiences as ‘delicious’, ‘captivating', ‘sexy’ and ‘brilliant’, this adult spoken-word storytelling show explores our connection to waterways, wetlands and their inhabitants. Leaping salmon, fishtail women, mythical raves and sacred springs – these freshly told legends celebrate all those who question the fixed and find their own flow. Reviewed as 'genuinely very funny... A masterful storyteller' (Backstage Bristol), Troubled Waters transports audiences into a world where ancient folklore intertwines with contemporary themes. Whether you come for the laughs or the watery wisdom, we’ll dip our toes into vital waters and explore what moves beneath the surface.Created & performed by Corinne Harragin

Touring UK as a storyteller for the last 10 years, Corinne uses physicality and humour to reanimate the written-down-ness of story with her own brand of oral performance. Finding pockets of enchanted forest within the hinterland of contemporary urban sprawl, she tells stories that recentre marginalised voices and silenced histories, bringing fresh questions to ancient myths and folk tales for adult audiences. Corinne is a regular guest performer for the touring ‘myth-off’ game show, Story Jam’s ‘Women Who Gave F*cks’.
As a research associate at the University of Bristol, her current project Storying the Avon (funded by the Brigstow Institute) explores connection to water through storytelling. She also designs and delivers storytelling and presentation skills training for the universities of Bristol and Gloucestershire. She has recently completed an MA at The University of Bristol, in which she researched contemporary forms of oral storytelling.
