Tasmanians – would you like to meet up at
the Cygnet Festival?
My daughter moved to Tasmania to study two
years ago and I enjoy this excuse to visit the Apple Isle as often as I can.
She is very supportive of Storytelling and has previously organised House Concerts and an
evening of tales in her favourite café, Frankie’s
Empire. With her support and with the encouragement of Martin
Jefferd (UK storyteller from Bristol and friend of Storytelling Australia Vic), trad storytelling has a place in the Cygnet Festival program.
The plan is to meet, warm up and get stuck into
learning some stories but importantly - build the story connections. The focus will be on traditional stories that mention either
apples, cider or both. Seemed like a good idea, as Willie Smith’s
Organic Cider is one of the Festival’s major sponsors!
There'll be opportunities to try out the
stories at the chalkboard events that run throughout the weekend.
Workshop: Friday 10 January. Details HERE
