Participants will be invited to reflect on their own experiences of Biddy\u2019s Day, past or present, and to uncover stories that might otherwise remain untold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Through a mix of gentle exercises, conversation and performance techniques, Joe fosters both skill and confidence. Participants will learn how to craft compelling narratives, find the rhythm and imagery within their words and build the courage to share their story aloud. There\u2019s no pressure to perform, only an open door to explore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Whether you&#8217;re a seasoned seancha\u00ed, a quiet listener, or someone with a single memory you\u2019ve never shared aloud, Joe creates a warm and encouraging space where each voice matters.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The stories gathered throughout the workshop will culminate in a special festival storytelling event, where participants can choose to share their pieces with the wider community.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The workshops will take place on Thursday 4th September, 2nd October and 6th November.
