I was wondering if you will be recording the stories next year as audio podcasts, for listening to later or for those who can’t make it?

I’m a Cofounder of a start-up which builds an experience around connecting (talk) audio programmes by theme and can help with podcasting if you’re interested.

I have been working with two non-actors in New York for 9 years creating/directing an ever-evolving unscripted personal storytelling piece of theatre called TWO MEN TALKING (www.twomentalking.com). This piece has given birth to a company called Narativ (www.narativ.com) dedicated to working with personal story and training people in how to use personal storytelling to unlock creativity, to give insight on their lives, to articulate who they are in the world more effectively. I run the London arm of Narativ, and although a small company the work has traveled to Africa, working with the stigma of personal story around HiV/AIDS, to Croatia with learning impaired people, around the States and now London. We run quarterly workshops for individuals and are also talking to businesses about how an understanding of story can help them.

I have also created a piece of theatre with my wife about Intimacy called SMALL SPACE (www.smallspacetheshow.com) which plays on the fact that we are a real couple telling stories and questions an idea of the ‘truth’ of personal story and memory. We perform in domestic kitchens…

So – your event looks fantastically interesting for us and I wonder if there is anything we could offer..?

They have fantastic- and I do mean fantastic- archives of some of the most influential and important childrens’ storytellers and illustrators of the last century.
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 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

4 – set up eventbrite to let people buy tickets
Do this now – it is REALLY easy, and lets people be calm they are coming – it is REALLY easy, paypal + eventbrite.

5 – get tickets on sale [
Again it is Easy

7 – Ask Russell where he got the tea-urn from
We have one we can lend you, There are two in the hall, and lots of kettles,
Russell gets his from HSS – delivered to the Hall, and collected later.
The ‘problem’ is not the urns, or the coffee and bags from Costco, but the helpers to fill them :)
