Workshop: Oral Storytelling for Heritage
IROKO Theatre Company present a free workshop which involves hands-on exploration of oral storytelling performance techniques. Oral storytelling is a brilliant way to tell a story using voice and gestures. It can include poems, chants, rhymes, songs and more. It is a unique platform allowing people to come together, reminisce, share cultural folk tales, create new stories or swap narratives. This is a great way to build connections between people as well as between the past and the present. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/workshop-oral-storytelling-for-heritage-tickets-835860018817
