...or rather, let several people tell you some stories!On Wednesday 28th of March I attended a story-telling day organised by Naomi Hewitt and run by story-telling ace Ian. I think it is fair to say that many of us were not quite sure what to expect, and, as you can see, some of us found it all rather frightening. No, actually Jessie and Phil were role-playing here!
I had expected quite a gentle day when we talked about some of the 'stories' associated with Derwentwater such as Pocklington's Island and Lady Derwentwater's escape. What we got was much more ambitious with demonstrations of techniques and introduction to some traditional stories. Then we broke into small groups to work on 'our' story.
After lunch we moved down to Derwentwater foreshore and looked for locations to suit the stories and then...you've guessed it, each group told their story in the chosen location. If you want to see and hear the results of our work come to Derwentwater foreshore on 11th of April.
