ONLINE FROM SWEDEN
22nd of April 2022
EGGS, GAMES, SPRINGS AND YARN
Stories are not substantives, they are verbs.
It is in the making, in the act, that a story comes to life. On paper, or in the mind, it is only an outline, a theme or maybe a symbol. But when an exchange and interaction between people is happening, that is when the story actually comes to life and builds worlds of imagination and understanding.
An evening with storytelling and singing, and with ideas and knowledge behind their storytelling actions.
Brita Björs - folksinger with roots from Hälsingland
Singing games. Is it maybe possible to even do a singing game in zoom….?
