Michael Dacre - Michael started storytelling in 1988, following
a series of workshops with 'The Company of Storytellers'. Soon after he
became the resident storyteller at The Beaford Arts Centre in North Devon.
He tells traditional tales in a powerful, lively and literary style, that
is entertaining and well-researched, embracing a love of language and strong
narrative, sometimes scary, often hilarious and usually both. His
hoard of stories - currently around 450 - is mainly British and European
but he also tells Native American stories and tales from other cultures
too. Michael is sometimes accompanied, musically, by his wife Wendy (pictured),
but will be flying solo at this event. |
