SAT 4 OCT // ☀️A lad lives half way up a historic hill. A teenager is on a road trip to the city in a stolen car. A boy is driving a chariot, pulling the sun across the sky.
A story about the son of the god of the sun, HELIOS transplants the Ancient Greek tale into a modern-day myth wound round the winding roads of rural England – and into the everyday living of a
towering city. It’s a story about life, the invisible monuments we build to it, and the little things that leave big marks.
From ‘Masters of Storytelling’ (FOURTHWALL) Wright&Grainger, HELIOS is the award-winning follow up to the internationally-acclaimed ORPHEUS, EURYDICE, and THE GODS THE GODS THE GODS. Join them in a little room with a tape player – and a delicate tale to tell.
WORKSHOP // WRITING & MYTH (2hrs30)
A leap into the ancient and the unknown with ‘masters of storytelling’ Wright&Grainger.
This is a chance to dig into something very old and come out with something very new. Working in a group, we’ll look at the adaptation of ancient myths into something which feels contemporary and compelling.
Wright&Grainger are internationally award-winning storytellers, known for their adaptations of ancient myths. Their critically acclaimed shows, ORPHEUS, HELIOS and THE GODS THE GODS THE GODS have played over 1,000 times across 4 continents. Alex Wright and Phil Grainger are two lads who went to school together, and still live 5 miles down the road from each other in rural North Yorkshire. They live for the adventure, telling stories and connecting with communities along the way.
In this session, expect to learn more about their approach to contemporary adaptations of ancient stories. With an opportunity to get some of your own words down on paper, and share with fellow like-minded creative storytellers.
