Emerging Voices in Storytelling
The Village Storytelling Centre (VSC) is committed to supporting the development and diversity of Oral Storytellers within Glasgow. Our vision, through this project, is to build a dynamic contemporary storytelling scene in and for Glasgow, that explores and celebrates the diversity of its people, their stories, and the way in which they communicate them. We look to provide opportunities and pathways for the development of aspiring and early career storytellers and increase platforms for them to create and perform their work.
Following two successful years of this programme, we are delighted to again offer an opportunity for three Emerging Storytellers to take part in a fully paid, 12-week placement.
Emerging Storytellers will receive structured support throughout the 12-week placement from the VSC team to hone their craft in oral storytelling and gain skills in applied methods.
The placement will include:
- Training in both oral performance and applied storytelling
- Shadowing Village Storytellers during applied storytelling workshops with a range of participants.
- Attending networking events within the storytelling and wider arts network.
- Attending and performing at events in a range of settings, including small groups, schools and community events.
They will work collaboratively and independently to develop their own performance skills and to find their own, authentic voice with ample opportunity to practice their performance skills. Ultimately, they will develop a new, contemporary oral performance (collectively or independently) that will be shared at a final event, to be curated and marketed by them, with full support and guidance from the VSC team.
**Please note: funding has been provided to support underrepresented groups and we aim to provide structured support, tailored to individual needs.
Emerging Storytellers will be engaged for two days per week (flexibly) and be paid a fee of £2100 for their participation in this opportunity.
Please submit a completed application by 9am on Monday 21st July 2025 ,to: opportunities@villagestorytelling.org.uk
Informal interviews will be held on the afternoon on Thursday 24th or Friday or 25th July (support can be provided).
We will gladly receive applications in the form of a 5 – 8 minute audio recording.
Placements will take place from week commencing 11th August to week commencing 27th October.
