The world around us is shaped by our thoughts and beliefs. Storytelling is a simple yet powerful way of stimulating the imagination, creating positive pathways in the mind and deepening our understanding of the nature of life. Our stories also give insight into human nature and are lots of fun. All storytelling sessions can be booked with a workshop.

 

Some examples of stories that we tell

The Paper Garden – a tale about an Emperor from the East who lives on an island in a palace surrounded by the most beautiful garden where the rarest flower in the world grows.

Toadstone – an ancient haunting tale about toads, greedy princes and white witches.

The Pumpkin Who Thought He Was a Maharaja – on the edge of a compost-heap grows a great pumpkin who believes that he is an Indian maharaja who is dreaming of being a pumpkin.

Frog Belly Rat Bone – A modern story about the simple treasures of life.

A Star in the Heart – a story specially created by Purple Broccoli Theatre for Apple day celebrations. This is the tale how Mervyn goes on a journey to find his fortune, and how and where and what adventures he has along the way.

The Green Ladies of One Tree Hill - a traditional English folktale. Three brothers, each of them a farmer, with very different attitudes to the natural forces on which their livelihoods depend.

Tortoises Dream - In Nigeria they say a story is not a story unless it has a tortoise in it, so this is an African folktale about a tortoise who longs to find the tree of her dreams, a tree that produces every imaginable fruit and even some grains.

The People who Hugged the Trees - adapted from a true story of how a community in India protected the precious trees that made their lives on the edge of a desert, possible.
