Michael Harvey leads a Workshop on Storytelling and the Body

Following his appearance at the Chillingham Arms on Friday 6 December, Storyteller Michael Harvey will be leading a Workshop on

Storytelling and the Body

….Nothing too strenuous, more of a time to make friends with our bodies so that our storytelling can be more compelling, fun and resonant

Our bodies are a target for marketing that makes us feel that we are not what we are meant to be. We are bombarded by body images in the media that are designed to make us feel inadequate and spend money on ‘fixing’ ourselves. Unfortunately this baggage can follow us around as we prepare and tell our stories. But not anymore!

What if I told you that your body is fine just as it is and the choice is not about improving your body but simply finding ways of having a better experience of being in your body and becoming more present, embodied, fluid and dynamic?

My aim is to give storytellers body-based tools to help you work with more fluidity, spontaneity, depth and joy.

I love the immediacy of storytelling and the recognition by people of all ages and backgrounds that these stories are for them and about them, no matter how strange
