Hey, those Young Tongues aren't wagging much at the moment, are they? What news from past winners of Young Storyteller of the Year? Are you all flourishing?
The Arts Foundation recently put up a £10,000 award for an innovative and creative rising star in the tiny storytelling universe. Four storytellers were short listed and had to go head-to-head at London's Barbican Theatre. But the long list, of less than 15 storytellers chosen by their peers, included two names from past Young Storyteller of the Year awards, the performance storytelling group Annamation, and the storyteller Jo Blake. Congratulations to them all!
The Young Storyteller of the Year Award next takes place on 7th March 2009. It could, as the stylish badges proclaim, be YOU! See our great new web site at www.ysoy.org.uk. But don't forget to leave a posting here too. There's plenty of room in Cyberspace ........
