Martin Manasse |
I have been telling stories since 1995. I love to tell folk tales, wonder tales, stories from all over the world that teach or mystify and, in particular, stories that enchant. I have worked with audiences of all ages and take as great a delight in reminiscence work as in inspiring young minds. I have also run story workshops and sessions on story making with children and adults and have recently experimented with the use of music as an inspiration to story making. I am not an epic storyteller, so the great myths and legends do not form part of my repertoire.
My latest project, now available for booking, is a performance entitled 'There Was a King' which received its premiere at the Star and Shadow Cinema, Newcastle upon Tyne in July 2008 promoted by 'A Bit Crack'. This is a selection of stories featuring a variety of Kings, old, young, good, bad or even very bad. Transformations occur, characters are changed and most of the stories leave us with an unanswered question to ponder. |
