Storytelling Workshop - Book Your Spot!
Storytelling Workshop
Professional Storytellers in partnership with the Storytellers Circle of Halifax
The Storytellers Circle of Halifax strives to preserve the long established tradition of storytelling in Nova Scotia. It promotes the art of oral storytelling by nurturing and inspiring both seasoned and novice tellers, and by providing opportunities for tellers and listeners of all ages, cultures, and communities to come together to share and experience the power of stories.
Workshop: A Touch of Magic: The Art of Telling Folktales
This 4-hour workshop is designed for those who have had some experience telling tales in the oral tradition and would like to discover more about telling folktales, wonder tales, legends, myths, etc.
As a participant, you will have the opportunity to
explore the rationale for including folktales and world tales in your storytelling repertoire
learn how to select the “perfect” tale for teller, audience, and occasion
become aware of cultural sensitivity in telling world tales
develop skills to enrich and enhance your storytelling through full use of the imagination and the senses in both mastering and presenting your tale
refine and polish your presentation through awareness of such elements as gesture, intonation, facial expression, and movement
Please note: The last two topics will develop skills of use in telling any type of tale (personal, family, historical, etc.)
Participants should bring a prepared five-minute tale to share.

Helen Creighton collected many Celtic stories and songs around the Maritimes, as well as from many other cultures. Celtic tales and songs are an exciting mix of adventure, heroism, romance, and magic often including Kings, Queens, knights, warriors, rebels, Gods, Goddesses, Druids and the wee folk.
The event runs from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. Admission is by donation (minimum of $10).
Tea, coffee, and scones will be served.
