What are Storynights?
Dreamfired Storynights are a great South Lakeland night out.
In the fabulous rural setting of Brigsteer Village Hall, near Kendal these evenings are your chance to put everything to one side, let the storytellers’ words enter your mind and transport you off to amazing places.
Each month we bring a different storyteller to offer one of their most interesting hour long performances as the start of the evening. Some are humorous, some are poignant, others tragic or gory – often, they’re all of those things. The styles are as varied as the subjects – one month might feel a little like going to see a stand up comedian, another a little like listening to a radio 4 play. Sometimes the whole hour will be taken up with one complex, twisting narrative whilst on other occasions you might get a rapid fire series of shorter tales.
The storyteller’s craft is original and full of surprises – most compose their work out loud, rather than writing it down, and many keep the performance flexible – a partial improvisation in front of every audience. Its exciting, and not quite like anything else – why not come and try it.
