PRESS RELEASE
Award Winning Storyteller &
Songwriter Cheryl Beer is The Story Weaver: unpicking the threads of fairytales
to weave new stories for folk of today.
At nearly 50 years of age she has been re-invigorating
her craft, returning to the University of South Wales at Cardiff’s School of
Creative and Cultural Industries, securing a Centenary Award to study an MA
Drama, where she is putting her storytelling under the microscope. The result has
been the beginning of a dynamic and exciting collection of new stories.
Mother Moon is based on an
autobiographical character, Ceridwen Goch and her struggle to come to terms
with menopause. Set on the West Wales coastline, Cheryl uses the fairytale
format to teach the character how to believe in her inner self. The piece earned
Cheryl a Distinction in her practical exam this month.
Mother Moon will be weaving her way to Bonmahon, near Waterford, Ireland, to share with WORDS, a spoken word event at
The Art Hand, having been kindly invited by Sean & Miranda Corcoran on
Wednesday 5th March 2014.
You can chat with the character
Ceridwen Goch on facebook as she has her own page: https://www.facebook.com/ceridwengoch?ref=hl
