24.01.2022 Well, if I can do it, anybody can!

23.01.2022 A time for gestating, a time for creating, a time for reaching out with stories, but usually through zoom....as we're saying a lot this year: "We live in interesting times." This Sunday 7 August at 7pm AEST I will be the Storyteller in the first Australian-themed World Storytelling Cafe by Zoom. I'm planning to experiment, to play, with the sort of communication methods that are available to us on Zoom, so that storytelling online will become an opportunity to find new way...s to create. It can never be as rich and warm and true as real, physically and spiritually present storytelling - but let's see what we can do with what we have! https://www.facebook.com/worldstorytellingcafe

17.01.2022 So thrilled to be involved with this! Had so many stories I want to tell from when I ran a workshop on Australian Women's History PLUS these immense opportunities to learn about more women, and in more depth PLUS the woman who runs SheSaw, Donna Fisher is so creative, positive, and such a problem solver that new opportunities for communicate keep bubbling away.

Panel Members : Claudia Hearscrow (USA), Norman Perrin (Canada), Richard Dian Vilar (Philippines), Jo Henwood and Lilli Rodrigues-Pang (both from Australia). Date: Tuesday 15th September 2020 , 7.30pm to 9pm Singapore Time ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of us, at some point, tell stories from cultures other than our own. Despite social distancing, the world is becoming smaller our swaps for example, regularly have attendees from Canada, UK, Russia, southern Europe, Turkey and elsewhere. We are becoming more aware of how the history and culture of indigenous, or first nation people, as well as ethnic minorities, has often been stolen, suppressed or misrepresented by colonisers, majority governments, or writers who interpret these rich cultural stories through the prism of their own culture. We have invited five tellers to sit on the panel and share their experience and suggestions for best practice: Claudia Hearscrow (USA) Norman Perrin (Canada), Jo Henwood (whose article on this topic we shared in the last Platter), and Lilli Rodrigues-Pang (both from Australia) and Richard Dian Vilar (Philippines). another culture.

14.01.2022 This is the basis of the historical fiction workshop ("Rebels, a Wreck, and (Re) Writing History") I am currently delivering online to Gifted kids through Gateways . A thoroughly gruesome, fascinating, and ultimately significant story that gets only passing mention through the eastern states but really deserves to be better known. This is the time (380 years ago last November) when the first Europeans (as far as we know) settled in Australia. This is the time of the first European structure. Plus it is so gory and dramatic! Precisely why I wanted the kids to know about it.

12.01.2022 History Week with SheSaw - so fascinating to facilitate this panel on Josephine Zammit, who can be described as the Maltese Caroline Chisholm.

12.01.2022 My Cindelia (Aussie Cinderella) story was pre recorded on Zoom because I chose not to participate at 3.30 am on a winter's morning. Yeah, you thought I was committed to storytelling, didn't you, but you see what my limits are.

10.01.2022 So I'm wearing green, white, and heliotrope, the suffragist colours, and my book-boots...I'll be so happy if you can make some guesses of any women worth celebrating in that setting because that will mean you know Australian trailblazers (as well as the Pankhursts and Susan B. Anthony.)

09.01.2022 Literary Southern England: Land and Writers Wander around ten of the southern counties of England, exploring them through the eyes of twenty great and popular E...nglish writers, from Chaucer to Le Carre and from Dahl to Dickens. This class is taught online via Zoom. For more information and to book visit: https://www.weasydney.com.au/course/LWLSE

Through this discussion, we hope to shed light on some of the key issues, why it can prove upsetting, and most importantly, to offer steps that you can take to treat stories from other cultures with respect, thereby reducing the risk of unintentional offence, while demonstrating to your audience the importance of another culture.

07.01.2022 Socially distanced and very productive meeting today with the wonderful storyteller Jo Henwood. Jo is an experienced guide who specialises in historical storytelling in heritage sites. We have drawn together some exciting plans for future events. Watch this space!

05.01.2022 The NSW Storytelling Guild has been my community for over twenty years, from when I was lurking and soaking up what wisdom I could, to now when I might even consider myself one of the tribal elders...or at least a familiar face at the back of the elders' tent. The Guild is a place to learn skills, and to nurture talent, and more importantly, passion for storytelling and that continues on in new forms this year. On Sunday 16 August 10am - 1pm I will be conducting a Zoom workshop on "Writing for Print and for Performance" $15 for Guild members, $20 for non members - so if you're at all interested in storytelling as either performer, or that most precious of all gems, as audience (!) you might as well join both. https://www.facebook.com/events/1023559748100665/

01.01.2022 Sunday 10.00 a.m. in the U.K., 7.00p.m. in New South Wales, we have the first of our Australian storytellers live at the worldstorytellingcafe.com/ Jo Henwood. To join us in the room go to the site, scroll down and click on the gold JOIN MEETING button.
