SHAGGYDOG STORYTELLERS

WHAT'S ON in MAY

AIDEEN MCBRIDE
"Dublin Yarnspinner"
FRIDAY 25 MAY 2012
£5 admission

Aideen grew up in Co Carlow with a rural background and is now living in Dublin where she is one of the organisers of the Dublin Yarnspinners. Her stories range from traditional tales and rural tales, to newly created stories. She has told stories in both English and as Gaeilge in schools, libraries and festivals (Cape Clear International Festival, Cultra, Draperstown, Ballinasloe, Liberties, Scéalta Shamhna, Guide Halloween Jamboree).

STORYTELLING

The hunger for narrative is a basic human instinct. Stories help us make sense of the world and give structure and order to our everyday lives.  They tell us what is important, what is not and give us a way to connect people's individual experiences to those of others. They help us identify with universal truths. Stories are a way we put a human face on the world, which is something we have always needed and valued. Some of our most profound decisions are made emotionally, not rationally. Stories tap into emotions better than anything else.
