What a treasure of resources! I should link ours too: www.abdn.ac.uk/llmvc/resear...

The University of Aberdeen also has some schools resources for this story!

I'm really looking forward to this one!

One of the great joys of storytelling is listening to the Greats, and Grace Banks really is one of those greats. On Friday, she transported the Grampian Association of Storytellers through her voice into northern lands and the natural world.

I'm just back from a networking event for Aberdeen filmmakers and creatives. I was blethering on about audio description and was heartened by how much interest in accessibility there was in the room.

Did you know I'm giving a free talk next week? I'll be talking women and the Early Gothic! From writers to publishers, renegades and regulars... Come join me (donations very welcomed!)

I'm having a relaxing Sunday after spending the weekend training a new audio describer. She worked on an Act of the play, creating a description for visually impaired people that included all the action while not speaking over the dialogue!

You probably know that Walter Scott worked extensively with the oral tradition, collecting ballads and incorporating folklore into his work. But how does he portray storytellers in his work? Read the article by myself and Lisa McKenna to find out: jiss.aberdeenunipress.org/issue/38/info/

I'm preparing to audio describe the Book of Mormon musical at Aberdeen Performing Arts' HMT theatre this afternoon. Audio Description is a vital service that makes theatre accessible to visually impaired people.

This is my first post on Blue Sky. Hi! I'm a traditional storyteller, academic working on Romantic literature, and audio describer. I met a fabulous child storyteller recently who told me all about Mister Men. I discovered that even though I'd like to be Little Miss Neat, I'm closer to Mr Muddles!
