Future Work:
The Society for Storytelling will be having their Annual Gathering soon: Fri 4th -Sat 5th September. I’ll be doing a workshop on Saturday morning – Kamishibai storytelling (this is Japanese Paper-Theatre) along with a session making a surprise Kamishibai card. There shall be glue and googly eyes. It shall be FUN.
I hope some of you can come, and it would be REALLY NICE if people could book in advance so I know how many googly-eyes and bits of carboard to bring.
The Gathering will be in St John’s Church, near Waterloo Station. There’s lots of things happening – Kora music, storytelling, four workshops to choose from, keynote speeches from Taffy Thomas and Doris Haper-Wills, a showcase from The House of Rumour… frankly, it’s a smorgasboard of delights.
