Awaken the Bard Within

Bath Workshop
 

Every one has a story to tell, but can you tell it? Do you get tongue-tied or terrified speaking in public? Do you wish you were more eloquent? Able to entertain friends, family, even a paying audience? Tap into your creative potential today! There are few things more satisfying than saying what you mean and meaning what you say in an engaging, articulate way. We all need to express ourselves. We all deserve to be heard, our stories to be told. We all should have a chance to shine... well, this is it! Kevan Manwaring, author of The Bardic Handbook and professional storyteller will share his skills and knowledge as a 21 st Century bard. Winner of the Bardic Chair of Bath, he teaches a storytelling course for the University of Bath, and creative writing for the Open University. The day will consist of a mixture of practical activities, discussion, feedback, & fun! The atmosphere will be informal and encouraging, the tutor supportive and informative. There will be some gentle voice and movement exercises (within your capacity). Information sheets will be handed out, but bring pen & paper for making notes, and some water. No previous experience necessary. Venue: St Marks Community Centre, Widcombe, Bath. Time 1-4pm. Cost £30 (£20 concs)
