INTERVIEW .................................... Dr Joanna Gilar “There is an essentail link between storytelling and nature” “I say to little kids that I’m a doctor of fairy tales,” says Dr. Joanna Gilar, a writer, poet and storyteller. She has a Ph.D. in Fairy Tales and Ecology from the Sussex Centre for Folklore, Fairy Tales and Fantasy (SCFFF) at Chichester University; an international forum for writers, scholars and performers. She now teaches The History of Fairy Tales and Storytelling online at The Hedge School and Evolution Arts in <strong>Brighton</strong>, and is passionate about the power of storytelling to build community and to connect people to the landscape. “There is an essential link between storytelling and nature,” she tells me. “One of my real passions is using imagination to bring people into the world rather than out of it.” “I’m a fan of the ecological philosopher David Abram and his view that we cannot restore the land without re-storying the land. We used to relate to the land by knowing it through its stories and folklore, but these have been lost and fragmented in contemporary western culture. But we can still work with imagination and storytelling to connect us to the environment. A project that I’m working on – The Giant’s Garden – is an opportunity for parents and kids to re-enchant normal life.” Joanna also teaches the History of Fairy Tales and the power of reworking them for modern times. “As storytellers, we very rarely make up new stories. Depending on what’s happening in the world, traditional stories can be rewoven.” “One of the most interesting things about fairy tales is that they are not written by one author but by many. If you consider something like Red Riding Hood - how many hands it has passed down through and how many different imaginations - it gathers a great cumulative power and becomes something that has been crafted over millennia.” “Fairy tales were originally oral stories, so they were very fluid, but as they’ve been written down, they’ve become more fixed. We can re-energise them just by being aware of the different versions. Sleeping Beauty, for example, isn’t always simply a princess asleep in a tower. In some of the versions, she’s also the rescuer, who rides to save the prince from the brothers who try to kill him. The old versions are more challenging and complex than we have remembered.” With their universal themes and power to connect us, Joanna believes that the sharing of stories is every bit as powerful for adults as it is for children, especially when they’re told by a master of the craft. “As an adult encountering the storytelling world, there have been some stories that have really hit me in the heart,” she says. “What I love about storytellers is that they dedicate themselves to a story before they tell it. Rather than inventing it, they learn it and work with it. Some contemporary storytellers, like Dr. Martin Shaw, can tell a story and transform the space. It’s like going through a course of therapy or a ritual. Something inside you changes.” Lizzie Lower fabularosa.co.uk thehedgeschool.org/the-fairy-tale-atlas ....91....
