SUMMARY:Comb
DESCRIPTION:When Charlotte was a child her Grandad told her the beginning of a story but refused to tell the full tale. Years later a chance encounter led her to find the rest of his story buried deep within an archive gathered from families in Ireland. Not only did she discover this unbelievable link to her past but also the more startling realisation that she might actually be cursed. \nAt times chilling\, hilarious and moving Comb is a lament for the stories and people we have lost. Through a tangled ride into Celtic\, Slavic and Siberian folklore\, it is a clarion call for understanding just how interwoven we all are. \n \nCharlotte tells stories in theatres\, clubs\, on the street and around campfires. She is drawn to the place where mythology\, folklore\, history\, science and the everyday meet.  Also a circus performer and Artistic Director of leading contemporary circus company Ockham’s Razor\, Charlotte has developed a unique\, highly physical style. She disentangles tales of power and transformation and asks how do we make sense of the stories we have. \nPerformances at 3pm & 6pm \nAge Guide 12+ \nTickets £10

SUMMARY:Jord
DESCRIPTION:Jord explores our fascination and obsession with women staying young and delaying ageing. What happens if we ask for eternal youth? Our bodies and minds turned to stone\, preserved in that moment in time? \nJord visits Mother Shipton to request her petrifying abilities to turn her age into stone and preserve her youth. Jord will use live music\, poetry and storytelling to question and challenge this obsession. This show has been developed through extensive research into Knaresborough’s own Mother Shipton and has looked at her story through a modern lens. \nJord will use live music\, poetry and storytelling to question and challenge this obsession. \nPresented as a Work in Progress with a fascinating post-show discussion opportunity\, the audience will help feed the development of this show. \nImogen is an actor-musician and theatre-maker originally from North Yorkshire. Her style of work uses folk music and folk stories to talk about female experience in the modern day. Imogen’s work is rooted in co-creation and community engagement\, especially with rural or disadvantaged communities. \nAge Guide 12+ \nThis is a Pay What You Can Event (PWYC). Suggested price £8. Donations to the Festival will also be welcomed. Thank you. \nTickets – PWYC
