Ripon Theatre Festival 2025 present Storytelling for Beginners

Whether you are thinking of dipping your toe into live storytelling, are a parent, teacher or carer who loves telling or reading stories to younger listeners, use public speaking in your work, or are just curious about how the ancient art of spoken storytelling can be relevant in the 21st century – this workshop might be of use to you.

RTF Storyteller in Residence, Peter Chand has travelled the world sharing his stories and techniques with people of all ages and backgrounds.

In this practical 2- hour workshop Peter will cover the basics such as voice techniques, visualising a story, movement in storytelling and personalising a story to connect with it more deeply.  You will also get a chance to share a short  traditional story with the rest of the group, in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
