About Scottish International Storytelling Festival: Common Sense: Adding Flavour to your Storytelling
When we really start using our senses, our story can connect in a much deeper way. Join storyteller Peter Chand and let him guide you to add aroma, taste, texture and sound to your story, enabling it to sizzle. You will experience a variety of storytelling techniques, including use of memory and visualisation to help enhance your story, presentation or educational process.
~~~~~~~~~~
People have been sharing stories since before language began. It is a subtle, complex and endlessly entertaining way of being human. Spend a morning with the best in the field to improve your skills and raise your ambitions. Hosted by Festival Director Donald Smith.

Join us as we explore, question and celebrate the Right To Be Human. This year, on the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we consider the many challenges we face, from human health and wellbeing to the health and future of our planet. However, there is also a worldwide movement to meet these challenges, and to exist imaginatively, fairly and in community with the whole diversity of life. Storytelling has embraced these values from the dawn of culture and stories today can help us be more connected to the world around us, as well as our rights, showing us how to be more alive and creative as humans.
