Chosen participants are requested to attend a full dress rehearsal at the Fabled Night event in Newport on Friday, 16th MARCH at 7.30pm. This is to ensure that all the performances are in sync with the theme, supported and also to assist order of the stories. It is also a great way to build our community, and take your story for a test run. If you are unable to attend, please be clear about this on your application so we can make other arrangements.
The World Storytelling Day event is expected to run for 2.5 hours, from 2 – 4.30pm, including a 30-minute break.
