StoryCommons CIC is dedicated to providing safe space for community storytelling. We run storytelling sessions for adults and young people, using traditional wonder tales and folkloric practices as a forum for learning and creativity, and to deepen conversation around climate, community, identity and relatedness. In the financial year 2023 – 2024, the company’s activities have benefited the community in the following ways: - Holding and hosting community conversations around the potential impact storytelling can have on environmental engagement in the local area. - Offering a low-cost online storytelling course for 7 local and national storytellers, with the aim of providing an affordable space for storytellers and creatives to gather together, support each other, explore the potential of environmental storytelling and develop a collective performance to be shared with the wider community. - Producing an open, public, unticketed online performance, Bodies of Wonder, for an audience of 35 which offered collective storytelling inspired by land, sea and sky, and safe space for discussion of connection with nature and natural imagination. - Offering free eco-storytelling sessions at local schools (Ditchling St Margaret’s) and the local transition network Greener Hassocks and Ditchling. - Building cross-cultural conversation around storytelling by collectively developing a panel paper around our Rewilding Cinderella project for a conference hosted in Potsdam by the European Forum for the Study of Religion and the Environment.
The company’s stakeholders are storytellers involved in our creative community, which runs via performance groups, as well as adults and children in the South East of England, and, more widely, in the UK, who engage with our in-person and online offerings. In the financial year 23 – 24, the directors of StoryCommons met every six weeks to discuss the progress of our activities. We also held 2 longer strategy meetings, to hone our business planning and overall company vision and intentions. Consistent conversation is fundamental to building and developing our performance groups. We meet online regularly to discuss intention, strategy and needs of performers, and consult with all involved when larger decisions need to be taken. We have a newsletter which goes out to our wider audience to keep them updated on our activities, and actively respond to any questions, comments or desires to be further involved in the projects. We are also in regular discussion with leaders and facilitators of our local community, including teachers and environmental leaders and activists, to explore where storytelling can have most impact.
