The latest SWH! podcast is all about the forthcoming Village Storytelling Festival (5 – 10 July), with Ali talking to Creative Producer Emma Collins, as well as participants and performers Raymond Wilson, Daiva Ivanauskaite, and Shona Cowie (left to right below).
Returning for the first time since 2017, The Village Storytelling Festival will explore Connection and Transformation – Storytelling in a Precarious World and Emma gives us an overview of this year's festival, as well as all the relevant details. Raymond, Daiva, and Shona then talk about the shows they are involved in, as well as telling us what they are looking forward to.
The festival is part of Scotland’s Year of Stories and the conversation also turns to the importance of telling stories in understanding ourselves and each other, and in building and strengthening connections. It's a genuinely inspirational conversation which not only whets the appetite for the Village Storytelling Festival, but for the future of storytelling itself.
Here are some images of those taking part:
