INVITATION: World Storytelling Day: a Zoom. Friday 19 March 7.30 pm AEST

Please join us for our World Storytelling Day event. 

WSD has been celebrated yearly since 2003. It's a time when oral storytellers, around the globe, gather to share stories. 

There will be all kinds of stories and songs: folk, true, tall and short. 

By having this event virtually we're able to include our friends from the UK and Brazil and the wild outer suburbs of Melbourne! 

This is a curated event and will be recorded.  

The Storytellers and Singers  

Susan Hall, Em Chandler, David Davies, Jackie Kerin, Cadu Cinelli (Brazil), Dee (Durgah Devi) Palanisamy, David Kidman (UK), Dharma Picking, Alan Davies and Adrian Newington.
