WORKSHOP: Seeing without Sight

About the workshop:

Inspired by the festival theme of The Seer, Peter will be exploring the different ways we can enhance our storytelling using the power of the senses. Most storytellers focus on what we are seeing in a story, however when we can call upon the deep sense of smell, taste, touch and sound, we can really enhance our stories and connect with our audiences in a much deeper and powerful way.

Drawing upon sensory memory and the emotional connections which our senses can elicit, this is a lively and practical workshop for practitioners of all abilities.
