Nicola and I attended Glasgow Village Storytelling Festival at the Centre for Contemporary Arts.
I enjoyed seeing the evening performances which was the talking hands group with interpreters telling their life stories ., It made me feel with different emotions happy, sad and also like joining in signing the song Amazing Grace . I found it very interesting and I would to take those skills to use in my storytelling. I enjoyed watching Carl Cough and Tony Evans doing a few stories, "The Old Moll"- the lady of the lake with Tony Evans miming the stories including the stone cutter. Tony was miming to Carl he wanted to tell a story , Carl said you couldn't tell a story without wearing a waistcoat so he dug it out got it on I found it was very funny.
Our performance of Jack Review went very well Nicola was happy with what I remembered of the stories , fortunately we only had a small audience of five people and in our workshop we had 10 people joining us they enjoyed the workshop and joined in and told a quick story of Cariwens Cauldron , I enjoyed their meals they gave us on Thursday and brought my self some earrings .
I would like to visit and be part of the village storytelling centre again .
