Anne
is an experienced and vibrant
storyteller who has worked in a wide range of venues and
situations, including libraries, historic buildings,
private parties, festivals, theatres, pubs church halls
and outdoor events.
She can tell to both
children and adults and is happy to work with specific
themes for particular occasions. She is also an
experienced playwright with a strong interest in drama,
and much of her inspiration comes from folklore and
mythology.
Anne’s storytelling style
ranges from the flamboyant to the reflective or the
scary (especially for Hallowe’en events!) and the
stories are always peppered with healthy dose of humour.
She has been a member of
the Cambridge Storytellers for nine years and has been
involved in group tellings of the Canterbury
Tales, The Arabian Nights, Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the
Decameron and the
Pentameron.
Anne has told with the group at Reach Fair, Wicken Fen
and at Milton
Country Park, as well as at the Stourbridge Fair re-enactment
at the Leper Chapel in Cambridge.
With
the invaluable help and input of her fellow Cambridge
Storytellers, Anne has co-ordinated five consecutive
summer tellings at the 12th Century Leper
Chapel in Barnwell, Cambridge, the most recent
of which was the well-attended
Arthurian
Tales.
