Confucius Institute of Aberdeen – Spring Family Festival

Leave a comment

Some photos from my storytelling sessions yesterday at Confucius Institute Aberdeen‘s Spring Family Festival!

I had a couple of wonderful audiences for my sessions – I told stories about snakes – as it’s now the year of the snake and various monsters of the sea. The storytelling took place in the Duncan Rice Library at Aberdeen University who currently have an exhibition called Imagined Norths – all the weird and wonderful beasts that our medieval ancestors imagined lived in the seas and lands to the north!

Next week will be a busy one teaching Scots Song with SC&T Youth and Spectra Festival over the coming weekend. Then I get a wee break before our final week in Aberdeen primary schools with the SC&T Tutors – just enough of a break to brush up on my DRAGON TALES for the University of Aberdeen Spring Festival Family Fun Day. It is of course the Year of the Dragon and so I’ll be telling tales of dragons and monsters from around the world!

The Confucius Institute will be organising all sorts of activities (dragon stories included!) at the Elphinstone Hall on Sunday 18th February from 10am to 4pm. 

Stories will be from 11am to 12pm and 1 to 2pm
