Storytelling with Wendy Shearer
Storytelling is one of the oldest art forms. All ages are captivated as they listen to a story. The teller creates and breathes new life into every word. The listener imagines and reacts, sharing emotions and finding new meanings. The story becomes yours to pass on.
Wendy Shearer is a London Professional Storyteller. She performs online storytelling on virtual platforms, offering pre-recorded stories and in-person for schools, family events and adult audiences. Her stories are drawn mostly from her Afro-Caribbean heritage with trickster tales of Anansi the spider for all ages and folktales from West Africa. She also tells ancient Greek Myths and epic tales, adapting her favourite stories from Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ and the ‘Iliad’ which she was also commissioned to perform for the London Literature Festival in the Royal Festival Hall Wendy has a large repertoire of stories from around the world to suit a diverse range of cultures and ages.
