Fairy-Tale Mirages: a creative storytelling workshop

​As part of the conference Fairy-Tale Trouble and the Art of Fluidity: Gender, Genre, Media, which will feature an in-person keynote lecture by Professor Vanessa Joosen (University of Antwerp), Elena Sottilotta (University of Cambridge) and Alice Parrinello (University of Edinburgh) will co-organize the creative storytelling workshop ‘Fairy-Tale Mirages’.

​The session will be led by theatre actors Davide Celona and Alessandro Celona. In this workshop, participants will dive into fairy tales rooted in the Mediterranean sea. We will engage in a variety of storytelling activities starting from Sicilian and Calabrian fairy tales that feature liminal sea creatures, while reflecting on the power of creating new stories.
