From the Horse’s Mouth, Story Sharing

o-region presents: From the Horse’s Mouth, Story Sharing
 
Free evenings of stories and scenes inspired by the local communities. 

As part of our research for our new show WHITE HORSE o-region presents – From the Horse’s Mouth, story sharing.

During Spring 2024 o-region worked with 5 communities to explore what makes them special to the people who live there. A team of 5 established writers with 9 emerging writers worked with each community to explore the theme of sense of place. 

After working with 136 participants the writers have created 76 new pieces of writing which we are excited to share with you in sharing events across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

As Sophie Wainwright, emerging writer from Scilly, explained, “I learned that the most intriguing stories are often overlooked; strange trinkets found on the beach or a simple bygone memory have a surprising amount to say.”

Each story sharing event will feature new, original work developed by our team of writers following a series of events, interviews and workshops in the local area. The events will be hosted by o-region’s Artistic Director, Simon Harvey and will be performed by professional actors.
