'Storyknowing' was a festival and symposium of storytelling and theatre with young people. It was in itself an act of practice research that aimed to connect many perspectives. Thus it brought together practitioners, researchers and teenagers all interested in the artform of storytelling by, with and for the adolescent age group. It brought together performance, applied practice and research. It brought together arts practice, mental health, education and social work, and the area of expertise that we might call 'being adolescent in 2016'.
Thus it is only logical that we disseminate our findings in a way that is vibrant, accessible and relevant to all these audiences. We hope this 13-minute film does this and are very keen to hear your thoughts! Contact me, as ever, via c.heinemeyer@yorksj.ac.uk
