'Tall Stories in a Small Box'

‘Tall Stories in a Small Box’ - 3 hr online storytelling workshop with Christine Carlton

'Tall Stories’ are told as if they are true but contain exaggerated or unbelievable parts. The main character is larger than life and has a problem to solve. Some tall stories are exaggerations of real events, while others are completely make-believe where the plot of the story is funny, imaginative and impossible.

In this interactive online workshop, participants are invited to work in small breakout groups and individually to stretch their imagination to develop their creativity, spontaneity and storytelling skills to craft new ‘Tall Stories' to be told via the small box of an online screen.

Organised by the Australian Storytelling Guild (NSW)

Facilitator: Christine Carlton is an Australian Storyteller and Education Consultant, who has worked throughout Australia and internationally conducting teacher inservice programs, storytelling workshops and coaching for adults, children, community groups and organisations. 

She has been performer/storyteller in residence at numerous National and International conferences and is Convenor of the ‘Weaving Stories Together’ - Sydney International Storytelling Conference held biennially in June.

Christine believes in the power of Storytelling to captivate and delight the imagination with an interplay between stories of impact and playful engagement.
