Today we had a meeting about the Arts Roadshow 2014 that we're planning with FireBird Theatre, Jump-Cuts, Misfits Theatre Company, Artist First, and us Openstorytellers.
It will be a celebration of learning disabled artists in the South West. The event will be in July 2014 in Bristol.

Carousel in Brighton are supporting this project and we have sent them this message.    

Tim reading Easy News

I think Easy News Issue 1 is brilliant it should have been done ages ago - news like this. It's really interesting for someone with a disability like me to learn about all these things.
I'm looking forward to the next issue.

The new wells museum storytelling group by tim, robin and suzie

After our christmas break, we went back to storytelling, this time om our new meeting place at wells museum. We met our leader Jem who is an inspiring storyteller, musician and leader. He really got us going, after giving us some thoughtful rules to keep. We had fun as well as being serious. He told us a story about a girl getting lost in a rain forest in Brazil. We had different feelings about this story, for some it brought up our fears of crustaceans and spiders+ it helped us to get over it a bit! (Robin) stories do that!



week2,
After nearly 3 weeks cruising over christmas and new year,  i Joined the group and really enjoyed it. We had an anancy story (spiders again). We did a story - picture board and practiced our silly jack story to tell.
We are looking forward to more in the future and new people joining us to watch and take part.
