Traditional tales can be moving, poetic and thought-provoking. They can also be confusing, outdated, and offensive. In this workshop, Daniel Morden explains strategies to adapt an antiquated text into the basis of a 21st-century performance. The course covers a range of traditional stories, from folktales to myths. This is not a course about performance skills. It focuses instead on story structure and characterisation. It is suitable for storytellers with some experience in retelling traditional tales.

The workshop will be held in The Atelier at the Arts Court (2 Daly Ave). The cost is $35 for OST members/$40 for non-members.
