You can source stories in many ways, but nothing beats the experience of a live storytelling performance for bringing tales to life. If you would like to gather stories for telling, here are a few ideas to help you get started:
- Listen to storytellers – at events, festivals and clubs
- Listen to storytellers on audio cassette or CD
- Read story collections, e.g. folktales
- Research your local history and community stories – these can often be found in libraries in
local history collections
- Gather family stories
- Explore story websites
- Create your own stories but remember that these need to work as oral stories
If you need advice on the most appropriate way for you or your organisation to be involved please contact us.
