I wondered about exhibition space or edges of the hall that you might want to theme or provide insight into the creative processes used by authors- from Judith Kerr through to Ed Vere- the sketches, the base ideas, the first drafts, fascinating interactions with publishers. A great window on history. Would this be of interest? I am not sure about some material in terms of fragility and time out of archive, but I am sure they could put together a bumper pack and also an archivist/storytelling expert to be on hand to give context and why they are so passionate about conserving our unique childrens' storytelling past I am currently based for half the week in Newcastle with the national centre for childrens’ literature, Seven Stories http://www.sevenstories.org.uk

I used to use a technique for associating gestures with narrative fragments to lock in memory with which you can teach a group of people (a hallful?) to walk through a story in a few minutes so they internalise it. And this also serves to dramatise the role of the head for storyline and drama, heart for emotion and gut for action As someone who has been part of a storytellers group I would have loved to come to this but have to be in Wales for midday.
