CALLOUT FOR STORYTELLERS!
STORYTELLERS’ CALLOUT
SOUNDMAPPING OUR 5 SQUARE MILES
As part of her project ‘Soundmapping Our 5 Square Miles’, musician & emerging storyteller Ailsa Mair Hughes is inviting two additional storytellers living in Wales to participate in the process of ‘soundmapping’ their local surroundings, and to create a short (20-30 minute) performance piece in response to this. The piece can involve soundscape recording, music and is very much open to individual storytelling style!
Ailsa is particularly interested to hear from:
Bilingual (Welsh-English) Storytellers
Minority ethnic Storytellers
Black Storytellers
LGBTQIA Storytellers
Disabled Storytellers
Young Storytellers
Elder Storytellers
Emerging Storytellers
Storytellers adversely affected by the Covid pandemic
Storytellers who have a particular affinity with their local landscape or who would like the opportunity to cultivate this.
The resulting performance will be shared online in Ailsa’s monthly storytelling circle ‘STONE SOUP’ - offered through the Zoom platform - on Saturday November 14th 2020 6-8pm, which will be recorded and made available for others to enjoy online afterwards.
FEE: £250 / storyteller
