In the world of story, anything is possible. In these series of workshops for adults, Jo Blake Cave invites you to discover the most ancient of the narrative arts. Drawing from a repertoire of folktale, fairytale and myth, you will learn how to deconstruct, reconstruct, interpret and perform a range of stories. These workshops are for anyone with a love of story, a vivid imagination and a willingness to get up and give it a go. They would be particularly suited to teachers, poets, actors and students of performance. :: Price for the series £60
