Event details

All you need to be a storyteller is to have heard a story. Once you’ve heard it, it is yours, to know and retell. But when the story passes through your mind and your voice, it takes on bits of you. This talk explores what is means to tell stories, to listen to stories and to know through stories.

The talk presents research conducted through ICAN at York St John University and York Theatre Royal. Throughout 2014 ICAN have been running story-based workshops with numerous community groups, with people aged 4 to 94, and using arts forms including music, drama, animation, printmaking and textiles. During this talk you’ll hear a story, make a story and be asked to think about what it means to think with stories.
