Tobacco Factory Bristol
We were the curtain raiser support act for Devils violin at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol.
and we had 125 people in audience which is loads biggest  audience we ever preformed for.
Ceridwen was the story we told    Tim "i was nervous,but excited about performing",
Bradley "I was surprised to see how many was there  as soon as I started I lost myself in the story
and forgot How big the audience was" Katie "I felt nervous before performing I was pleased and happy about the peformance after  telling the story."
Ceridwen is a story about a  sorcerer who has two children a daughter and son
Ceridwen's  son is called Avagddu   who  is disabled and left alone in the dark
Ceridwen gets sick and tried that the local village was taking the mick out of her son because he was different to everyone else so Ceridwen thought if I can't make Avagddu, better I make him wise so
Ceridwen goes off collect some items  to make a magic potion then Ceridwen steals a boy from the village to help make the potion that eventually went wrong. Throughout the rest of the story people forget and forgot about Avagddu, that's why we tell our stories, so we can be included and not forgotten or left alone in the dark or left alone without friends and family .
The audience thought we were amazing. We had a really good technician  who got the lights perfect for us. We like to see our audience when we performing so we know  they can see us .
The audience was moved and understood our message once we told our story I/ Bradley think some people started looking at us differently afterwards the way we want be respected and treated hopefully they can see a different picture and a  life story in people with learning disabilities and communication difficulties. We have a voice and story to tell to you all.
The End.

Telling Stories from around the world at Fosseway School

Thursday  8th  March  Storytelling  performance at Fosseway School.

We were  very pleased to be invited to go to Fosseway school  for their World Book Day .

Bradley  said ' I  managed to   tell the story of  Thor  at a slow  speed  so everyone  could hear me  using  actions  in the story  really helped. People thought it was  really funny, the pace was good I have improved and felt confident.'

  We met another storytellers called Stu Pacher,he wants to come and watch us doing storytelling .

Katie said ' It was lovely to get invited back to my old school. I enjoyed telling Anansi and the tug of the war  to the  young children, they were very interactive- it was a good experience, the teenagers were interested in the Thor  story.  Listening to Tim, Robin and Sue telling the story Stone Soup and the Snot Nose Boy were magical to the young children.'

Sue  said ' It was  challenging and experience .I enjoyed telling  the story Snot Nose Boy to  young children ,I was very nervous  telling the  story Stone Soup. It was  different working with  young children but I'm  looking forward to doing it again.'
