Training and performances

Human Beings are creatures of story. Since gathering by the fires of antiquity, tales have been told to entertain, teach and explain the mysteries of the world. Stories have explored the shadows that lie beneath our own experience. They grow in the telling, coloured each time by the teller, and by those told.

Theatre is a unique, timeless way of bringing stories to people, particularly in the world as it is today. Being in the room with an actor, as a story unfolds before the brings emotional intimacy and intensity, making the story personal. Listening to Voices brings these stories to bear in an inclusive, human way.

This relationship is made particularly poignant when the story being shared is taken from the actual experiences of the storyteller. The truth of the shared experience, the power of the story, come together in an experience that teaches, confronts, entertains and challenges.

We look forward to seeing you around the fire.
