Storytelling Science & Nature
Workshop with Susan Strauss (Part of Edinburgh Tradfest)
(Fri 5 May: 1.30pm-4.30pm)
The greatest naturalists have also been great storytellers. This workshop led by internationally renowned storyteller Susan Strauss will focus on telling personal stories whilst drawing from the power of myth and nature to enhance your telling.
This workshop is aimed at storytellers with some level of experience. Please prepare a short personal story from your experiences in nature to be shared and revised. Please also wear clothing that is easy to move in.
Susan Strauss is a professional storyteller, internationally known for her performances on natural history themes and for her signature workshop, The Passionate Fact: Storytelling Science. Susan is a passionate storyteller with an extraordinary gift for bringing ancient stories and folktales alive with a unique and masterful storytelling style that has been enchanting audiences around the world for decades. She lives in Bend, Oregon, USA.
We are delighted that Susan will also be presenting a live performance with us on Fri 5 May entitled Tree With Golden Apples, which is also the title of her new book, a rare collection of twelve myths, anecdotes and folk tales that reveal the botanical wisdom of the ancients alongside the perspective of modern scientific discoveries.
