We begin Season 2 of Another Story by sharing a conversation between two fantastic artists, Shona Cowie and Neil Sutcliffe, who discuss their new project, a storytelling and music show about Scotland’s land, called Rickle O Stanes.
This conversation was originally broadcast in May 2024 by Edinburgh’s online radio station EHFM.
In this episode we talk with Helen Mill and Dan Serridge from the Village Storytelling Centre whose festival of contemporary and community storytelling runs from the 25-30 June 2024 in Glasgow. We were also joined by Arjen Barel, Director of the Storytelling Centre in Amsterdam, who has created a storytelling and dance piece called Saffron alongside Palestinian performer Hala Salem.
In this episode we meet storytellers Svend-Erik Engh and Alice Fernbank. Two international storytellers, both living and working together in Edinburgh now. As you can imagine from the title, this chat explores some personal experiences of illness, and we are grateful to Svend-Erik and Alice for talking so candidly with us.
This week we explore storytelling’s reach with two storytellers, Ailie Finlay and Claire McNicol, who have centred their work around community storytelling, especially with intergenerational and additional support groups.
We are delighted to share a full recording of the Open Hearth from the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2023, recorded live from the Netherbow Theatre in the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
These sessions are relaxed and welcoming as storytellers and musicians share with the audience in the ceilidh tradition. Across this episode you’ll hear from storytellers Dougie Mackay, Fiona Herbert and Tim Porteus, as well as beautiful music and song from Rachel Newton.
In our first episode of Another Story we chat with two of the world’s leading storytellers, Peter Chand and Ruth Kirkpatrick who tell us about their passion for storytelling and their upcoming joint project, Shadow Walking, a storytelling performance with live music which seeks to excavate stories which are not often told, out of the shadows and onto centre stage.
In this week’s episode we chat with two storytellers, Anna Conomos-Wedlock and Gauri Raje, who had never actually met before, but are both doing interesting work in similar areas of storytelling, exploring stories of migration and sanctuary. Both storytellers will feature in the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2023.
Join us this week as we catch up with two of the UK’s leading young storytellers, Ailsa Dixon and Ffion Phillips, to hear about their journeys so far and some of the stories they love to tell.
