Fantastic Feminist Folktales
If you’re an event organiser tasked with booking a speaker, and you want to sweep your audience away with the power of live oral storytelling; if you’d like more than just a speaker, then book Kate Lawrence, a brilliant and inspiring oral storyteller, to perform one or all of the stories from her show, ‘‘Fantastic Feminist Folktales’.
‘Fantastic Feminist Folktales’ is a storytelling performance of folktales, myths and stories from throughout the ages, inlaid completely with women’s power and potential.
This program is a bold, brave and compelling show in the imperfect art that is oral storytelling. Kate brings her unique artful eye and feminist sensibility to the classic stories of Red Riding Hood, Joan of Arc, and Demeter & Persephone, as well as other stories.
The story of ‘Joan of Arc’ is the longest story, and stands out as an extraordinary story that echoes through the centuries to have a deeply encouraging message for modern women, as well as explaining history and politics in a memorable and engaging way. Red Riding Hood is a brilliant exposition of the nature of story and its power, and how that power can be used by the powerful to perpetuate a dominant mindset.
Kate Lawrence is an oral storyteller of many years experience. She is a twice Moth Story Slam winner and a TEDx speaker. Her show ‘Fantastic Feminist Folktales’ is tried and tested, being seen by over three hundred people to rave reviews. Call Kate on 0402 080 445 or book an appointment here to discuss your event.
