About Scottish International Storytelling Festival: Storytelling with Children
It is often said children are hard-wired to listen and engage with stories, but that doesn’t mean they always make the easiest audience! Storyteller Daniel Serridge will explore the tools and techniques to engage younger audiences. From pace, voice, facial expression, rhythm, rhyme and humour, Daniel will break down some of the key tenets of good storytelling, offering you clear guidance on how to bring life to children’s tales and leave your audience spellbound.
~~~~~~~~~~
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.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
