Connection With Wonder @londondreamtime.bsky.social · Nov 16
Greetings blueskyers,
I’m Vanessa, a professional storyteller; academic projects, schools, parks, programme festivals, work with companies etc.

For joy, I lead folks into weird corners of London & tell them stories connected to the landscape.

For more joy I train new storytellers!

We human beings need to get together, listen to music and stories, to lift our hearts with art and —in doing so —be seen and heard.

It’s a basic human need!

What a brilliant solstice retelling of The Snow Queen we had -with a full musical score and candles and hot chocolate in a ruined chapel (no heating yikes!)
Can you see me at the front?

Wishing you all a happy solstice and a gentle return to brighter days. xxx
screenshot of a video taken of me telling the story . It’s quite dark and there are around 60 people in silhouette. Lots of candles and fairy lights!
