    Learn Storytelling

    What makes a good storyteller? How can an audience be gripped, moved and excited by a story?

    Storytelling is a challenging, fascinating and multi-faceted branch of theatre which gives great pleasure to participants and audiences alike.

    Participants will learn games, tricks and exercises designed to improve their storytelling capabilities, including vocal range and strength, powers of characterisation and transformation, the rhythm of performance, the creation and relaxation of tension and how to create a rapport with your audience.

    Saturday March 16 (10am – 4pm)
    Sunday March 17 (1.30pm – 4.30pm)
    Venue: St. Andrews Hall, Chesterton, Cambridge CB4 1DH| Map

    Description

    This course focuses on storytelling in performance. Participants will be invited to bring a couple of stories to tell. More details will be supplied on booking.

    The course is open to all and some previous performing experience – not necessarily with in situ: – is an advantage. If you think you might be interested, contact us to find out more.

    An exploration of storytelling has been an important part of in situ:’s recent theatrical work. We’ve performed several of the great European story cycles, including Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, which was a hit at the Brighton Festival.

    Your teacher, Richard Spaul, is an actor, singer and storyteller, with well over 30 years experience with in situ: and Cambridge Experimental Theatre. His recent storytelling performance work has focussed on ghost story and horror story genres, a fascinatingly rich field. He has created three popular solo performances over the last four years, featuring work by Edgar Allan Poe, Edith Wharton, Saki and others.

      Voice is the Muscle of the Soul

      Sometimes called ‘The Muscle of the Soul’, the human voice is a fundamental instrument of communication – expressing information, emotion and character.

      It is versatile and expressive;

      It sings, speaks, chants, sighs, laughs, cries, yawns, squeaks, and groans.

      It probably tells other people more about ourselves than any other single aspect of our being.

      And yet many people struggle with their voices; feel they …
