Tilly the Talespinner
Storytelling
Tilly has spun her tales far and wide throughout the British Isles in schools, theatres, village halls, drop-in centres, festivals and community events. Her wide ranging and eclectic repertoire includes both traditional stories and original tales of her own creation.
With ‘versatility’ as her middle name, Tilly is highly skilled in the art of adapting her tale telling to suit all occasions, audiences, venues and requirements.
"Storytelling is not a luxury to humanity; it’s almost as necessary as bread.
We cannot imagine ourselves without it because each self is a story."
Robert Stone
Children and Family Audiences
Tilly has many years of experience in working with and performing to children and family audiences. She has worked extensively in the primary school environment, at community events and children’s festivals as a storyteller, children’s theatre performer and workshop facilitator. Her style of telling for young audiences is larger than life, full of colour and caricature and involves oodles of opportunities for audience participation
Back to Nature
Tilly has a growing repertoire of stories relating to the natural environment.
Now, more than ever, it is vital that we find ways of developing a respectful relationship with nature. These timeless tales are a delightful and engaging way of appreciating the magic and wonder of our amazing planet and learning how to live in harmony with it by listening to the wisdom of our ancestors.
Perfect fayre for outdoor events, story walks etc.
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope."

"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."
William Shakespeare
