Bodies of Wonder is a collaborative, creative Storychoir running on Wednesday evenings through autumn / winter. Sign ups are open until October 31st.
ABOUT BODIES OF WONDER
This Storychoir is facilitated by Dr Joanna Gilar, storyteller, fairy tale scholar and founder of Story Commons.
It will offer storytellers and artists the space to dive deeply into wonder tales and myths to explore their wild, complex, interwoven bodies, inviting stories into community and community into stories.
The sessions will offer space to discuss aspects of sexuality and gender which have been erased in the written history of story, and explore how we might invite these diversities back into their rich experience of embodied story.
They will also offer participants a space to develop their work within a supportive, co-creative community, and weave work into a collective story concert which gives voice to our bodies of wonder.

We experienced a deeply open discussion where you honoured all points of view. I loved the questions we pondered. What a global gathering we have had.
-- Kathy
It felt like a safe space where people shared stuff, felt comfortable to do so, supported each other well, everyone brought their different skills. We were given the time and space to allow things to come together. It was a beautiful thing.
