The 5 Biggest Technology Trends In 2023 Everyone Must Get Ready For Now
I think we’re all wondering what we can do to help Ukraine… we’ve sent off toothbrushes and paracetamol and booked air bnbs… of course, my response to almost anything is to tell stories… So here are two concerts coming up with fabulous line ups to raise money to help the people of Ukraine.
For the first half of 2021, Lucy Wells and I have been exploring various technologies, ideas of light and shadow, black and white, prejudice and how to take traditional stories to people who don’t usually hear them.
The last artist we worked with was Rob Spaull. We took the themes we have been exploring, techniques we have learned to create one short film… which turned to three short films! Each film has exactly the same story, but with a different soundscape – see which one works best for you and how a small change in just one aspect of the film influences how you respond to it…
Best Creative Writing Prompts
How exciting! Over November and December (2020), I’m working with a teacher in Namibia to share Shropshire and Scottish storytelling styles, to give her students a perspective on storytelling in another culture…of course, that works both ways! I’m really interested in hearing about storytelling styles in Namibia and I get to sit in on the students’ session with West, an amazing contemporary and traditional Himba dancer as he explores rhythm, audience participation and how to transpose that into storytelling.
During my ‘Digitising Duncan’ project and over lockdown, I’ve been experimenting online and with digital formats. I’ve loved running ‘Taking The Tradition On’ storytelling talk show and making podcasts… but, it’s very time-consuming and all voluntary! Now my Arts Council England project is over, I can’t justify carrying on regularly without a bit of help. So, if you’ve been enjoying Taking The Tradition On and you’d like to help, please sign up! I’m hoping it will be a space where people can get more involved in my work – giving feedback on work in progress, suggesting guests you’d like to see interviewed and topics for podcasts.
I’m really looking forward to beingIn Conversation with Simon Heywood talking about Duncan Williamson and Scottish Traveller Tradition. Lots of Duncan stories, songs, riddles and a few clips of the man himself. There are 25 spaces in the theatre, but don’t worry, you can still come on Zoom 7.30 – 9.30pm The Quad, DerbyFree Event – but you need to register – https://www.derby.ac.uk/events/latest-events/travelling-together/
The Most Amazing Avocado Pasta Salad
My year of working with Duncan’s tapes is drawing to a close – and I’ve been giving various performances and talks to share his stories, memories of apprenticing with him and what I’ve learned. Here are two you can watch online: The World Storytelling Cafeand The Wonderland Festival– there is about ten minutes of terrible waffle at the beginning, so skip that – it’s not my video I can’t edit it!)
I’m delightedto announce that I’m going to be running an LCS online project with visual artist, Sara Holden, and Hay-on-Wye Primary School. This is a great time to play and experiment. Everything is new, there are no rules as to how it should be done, so it is a real opportunity to think creatively and find inventive ways to use what we have. Can’t wait to get started! Sara’s artwork is beautiful – made of found objects, often inspired by the sea – you can see a few highlights of her work hereand here
I am the Bag Books storyteller for Shropshire, Mid Wales and North Wales. It is an organisation I am incredibly proud to be part of. Bag books are specifically designed for children and adults with profound multiple learning disabilities. They enable all people to experience the emotional journey of a story. I am constantly overwhelmed by the reaction of participants when I use Bag Books – teachers and carers constantly feedback about the surprising level of engagement; of unexpected eye contact; being much calmer with someone they don’t know than they would have expected, the list goes on and on.
The 39 Best Gifts For 10 Year Old Girls Of 2023
My most moving moment was telling ‘What Am I’ – a story about all the animals at the zoo. One girl listening was repeating all the sounds and particularly fell in love with the oinking pig, ‘It’s a pig! Look a pig!’. This may not sound like much, but her teaching assistants were almost in tears, the girl rarely spoke and they had never heard her put a sentence together before.
The world storytelling cafe is an amazing venture, bringing storytellers from around the world into your living room. You can now see my set of fairies, flowers and trees filmed in the May bluebell woods at the cafe here.
This Wednesday 25th September I’m starting a new weekly afterschool storytelling and art club at Newtown High School for 9-14 year olds.

Creative Resume Examples For 2023
Overview: ‘The Enchanted Wood’, a collection of Montgomeryshire folk tales was published by The History Committee based at Newtown High School in 1947. A copy of the book was given to every child in Montgomeryshire. Mythstories Museum of Myth and Legend have been awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant to celebrate the culture contained in this book and to give all children in Montgomeryshire access to their traditional culture and heritage through a digital resource available to all schools within the county.Our part of the bid is to work with young people from the school that first published the book to create videos of them telling the stories through a variety of media
The Storytelling and Art Club The project is for young people, 9-14 year olds to take and retell the stories from ‘Montgomeryshire Folk Tales – The Enchanted Wood’ to create a digital resource for Welsh young people to access and appreciate their oral heritage. We will work with them to develop their skills so that they can tell the stories in their own words, voices and media to their peers.
The young people will develop their storytelling and presentation skills – but there is wide scope for how they finally video and present the stories! Options could include telling a story straight to camera; creating videos with the story voiced over on vimeo; stills of children’s artwork voiced over by the children, stop animation, but there are plenty more!

We hope to hold exhibitions of the students’ work towards the end of the project both within school, at Newtown Library and online.
A number of videos will be generated of the students telling their stories, either straight to camera or through voiced over artwork. We also plan videos/audio interviews of the students’ experiences of working with the stories. Sam, Amy and Helen will put together packs of activities used during the project

Over the next two years, I’m going to be working with Black Lane Primary School as their Creative Agent as part of the Lead Creative Schools scheme.
I’m really excited to part of the LCS. I had a great time working as a Creative Practitioner at Bryn Collen – and hope to be involved in more projects as a practitioner. As the Creative Agent I will be working very closely with Black Lane helping them through the process of designing, delivering and evaluating the best project for them.
Education in Wales is undergoing some major changes. The emphasis is going to be much more on child led learning, active classrooms and creative teaching. It’s so exciting to part of a system change that is not frightened to talk about idealism, individualism and put the child at the heart of the conversation.
