Svenja Krüger will perform in two extraordinary shows – one for adults, another for children – at the Scottish Storytelling Centre today and tomorrow.
Linking to the 200th Anniversary of the tales of the Brothers Grimm, the evening programme “Alike & Afar” on Friday 7 June will concentrate on the connection between long lost Scottish folk tales and the classic tales of the two gifted yarn spinners from Germany. Performing with Svenja is great Scottish teller Calum Lykan who is freshly recruited to the Storytelling Centre.
In the event “Taste the Tale and Smell the Story” on Saturday 8 June 2013 (11am and 3pm) children will experience the tales of the Brothers Grimm using their whole being. Feeling, smelling, singing along and joining in will all be part of the show, so the children can become part of the stories.
