Emerging Voices in Storytelling
The Village Storytelling Centre is committed to supporting the development and diversity of Oral Storytellers and narrative performers within Glasgow. With funding from Creative Scotland, we are delighted to present an opportunity for three Emerging Storytellers to take part in a fully paid, 12-week placement.
Following three successful years of Emerging Voices in Storytelling this placement will continue to extend our approach in supporting new, emerging voices within Storytelling. This supports us to contribute to a thriving storytelling scene within Glasgow that promotes diverse voices, reflecting the city and its stories as it is now.
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 oral performance and applied storytelling
– Shadowing Village Storytellers during applied storytelling workshops with a range of participants
– Attending and performing at events in a range of settings, including small groups, schools and community events
Emerging Storytellers will be engaged for two days per week (flexibly) and be paid a fee of £2100 for their participation in this opportunity.
The placements will take place from week commencing 2nd March to week May 25th.
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 that will be shared during The Village Storytelling Festival between May 19th – 24th 2026. The performance will to be curated and marketed by them, with full support and guidance from the VSC team.
