Storytelling workshop – young adults
Jenny Neesham
Jenny has been collecting and telling Norse and Celtic stories since her early teens. She has specialised for many years in working on myths and folklore with Youth Theatre and other groups and she will be an expert guide in the telling of new Caithness myths based upon the old ones. For Jenny, magic is as much a given as it was for Snorri Sturleson and the poets who wrote the Eddas, from which came many of the Norse Myths we know today through the work of Stan Lee.
