Live & Local - Story Tent
Story, yarn or anecdote - everybody has a story to tell and anybody can tell a story…
We are looking for community groups, individuals and event organisers across the villages of Warwick and Rugby Districts who would like to participate in projects over the next couple of years to collect and tell their communities’ stories.
Live & Local would work with your community to support people of all ages to gather local tales and also teach people how to tell their stories to others.
As part of the project, the Live & Local Story tent (a small round cosy 60 seat marquee) can visit your community – maybe as part of a regular annual fete or carnival event – providing a place to imagine, listen to and tell stories, including professional performances and opportunities to participate in story workshops.
However the Story Tent would only be only half full… and for the rest of the time that it’s in your community you can make use of it as you will… within reason!

At this stage we are looking for expressions of interest and for your help in further shaping the project. If you would like to find out more or register your interest, please contact us on (01926) 402173 or admin@liveandlocal.org.uk by 12th February 2010
