STORYTELLING

Posted 19/05/07

As part of our plan to make oral history accessible in a variety of ways, storyteller Rachel Loise has gone through the Generations Talking transcripts and devised a thirty minute story taking small sections from many personal life stories and woven then together, using verbatim quotes, to develop a character called ‘Margaret’ in which, while in character, she portrays life in Hebden Bridge from 1920 through schooldays, work and beyond. Rachel has performed her story in local schools, elderly residential homes and community centres. An audio/visual version will soon appear on our website.

If you would like a performance for your group, please contact us.
