Authentic Voices: Eastern Routes
Friday 22nd to Sunday 31st October
For centuries live oral storytelling, blended with music and song, has carried Scotland's voices from generation to generation – and round the world.
The Scottish International Storytelling Festival carries this ancient tradition into the future with the stories of Highland and Lowland Scotland, and of the Scots who travelled across the globe. In 2010 international guest storytellers will come from India, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, China and Japan to perform alongside their Scottish cousins.
Festival events host authentic voices from home and abroad at the hearth of Scotland. Storytelling performance events are complemented by talks and discussions, film screenings, participative workshops, 'Meet the Storyteller' sessions and an international networking day for storytellers and network members.
It's bound to be a Festival rich in Eastern traditions and cultures, so watch this space for news and updates!

I very much enjoyed the range of storytellers from all over the world bringing something of their people's Soul to this Festival.
