Invitation: a June Zoom and other news

Subject: Newport Storytellers: a June Zoom

Courtesy

Our aim is to be inclusive and welcoming to all in this space. Sexist, racist, homophobic and ableist stories, songs and comment hurt and exclude people.

How it works

  • These gatherings are informal and playful
  • We welcome storytellers, singers (with a song that tells a story) and listeners
  • We love to hear your news and listen to works in progress
  • Contributions around the 6 - 10 min mark (zoom can be tiring)
  • We plan for an hour but if we're still enjoying ourselves, we may go over.
  • On arrival we will create a list of participants and post in the chat so you know where you are.

Looking forward to seeing your zoomy faces.

OTHER NEWS

You will know by now  that the Newport Folk Festival was cancelled and so of course was our Podcast Live recording session.

We have rescheduled for August but decided to take the conservative option and not include an audience.

Our plan is to spend an afternoon recording stories and songs to create four more episodes for our podcast with a  cast of new voices.

Covid may yet intervene with our plans but we are feeling optimistic.

And this month's photo is  a pic of Em Chandler, word wizard and teller of wonder tales.  Em is one of the team we'll be recording in August.
