Comfort Stories with Bounce Theatre
An eight week residency with Bounce Theatre at Orlean’s Park Secondary Schoo exploring stories and storytelling. Participants interviewed each other and developed their own “comfort stories” looking at times in their  life when they have overcome fear. The result was an intimate storytelling event complete with hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Storytelling with Bounce Theatre
London, 2018
Getting cosy under some blankets and sharing scary stories. What better way to spend an afternoon? Once we have shared stories - either from our own lives, our families or found stories we rehearse and perform - more blankets, more cosiness.
