House of the West Wind Summer Lecture with Peter Chand – online
8pm BST (UK time)
The House of the West Wind: College of Storytelling is delighted to present its 2023 Summer Lecture with Peter Chand: You Talkin’ to Me?
Join us live on Zoom on Friday 30th June at 8pm BST (UK time),.
Many storytellers think constantly about which stories they want to tell.
For some years now, storyteller Peter Chand has been thinking about who he wants to tell stories to.
He sees himself more and more as a Story Activist; that stories and storytelling need to be bolder and more inclusive in their truest sense.
Otherwise, isn’t the storytelling community just an echo chamber for a handful of privileged practitioners?
So how do we change this paradigm, if indeed there is a desire to change things, in the often cosy and comfortable world of storytelling?
In this lecture, Peter will be sharing his experiences as a storyteller of over twenty years standing.
He will talk about how storytelling makes its most powerful impact not on the stage, but within community settings. He will also discuss cultural context in storytelling and explain some of the reasons why he never applies for funding.
