Stories are everywhere in books, newspapers, films, TV, on the Web and in iPods. Stories are EVERYWHERE!
However, for us at The Storytelling Guild of NSW, Stories are TOLD, rather than READ ALOUD. Storytelling is what happens when a Story is told, face to face, eye to eye, mind to mind, heart to heart. The Story is intimately known by the Teller, Spoken aloud, and shared, like a gift, with the audience.
Known as the Narrative Oral Tradition, Storytelling is our first literacy, our oldest Art Form and a living Art.
SO WELCOME to our website and we encourage you to come and join us, and become part of this dynamic, living art form, either as a Teller of Tales, or a Listener to Tales, we welcome both equally.

Workshop - ' A Little Bit Of Magic, a New Hat and a New Story!’
Looking for a bit of fun and an opportunity to develop your storytelling skills, then join in our next workshop with Tony Nolan - storyteller, magician and actor .
Come and try your hand at Chapeaugraphy - creating a range of interesting hats and props from simple felt material. The shapes can be used for characters or props to aid in the story telling experience. As the shapes can be made in front of the audience, there is a semi magical experience. Tony Nolan will also demonstrate Improvisational Storytelling when combined with Playback Theatre as well as sharing some of the secrets of making the Chapeaugraphy hats.
