| An introduction about storytelling and chosing the right story for the moment, followed by a story about the best archer (sharp shooter) in the world, told by Dan Yashinsky. The best sharp-shooter in the world passes through a village and sees a set of targets each with an arrow in the bulleye. Knowing that even he does not have this skill, he calls out for the archer to show himself. A small boy appears. When asked how he managed such shots, he explains that he draws each target after he shoots the arrow. | |

| In 2003, Jillian Barker, Head of Education at the Barbican Centre, London, approached Ben Haggarty, Artistic Director of the Crick Crack Club, with a proposal to programme regular performance storytelling at the Barbican Centre. Since 2003 the Crick Crack Club has worked in partnership with Barbican Education to programme 9 events a year in the Barbican Pit Theatre, for adult audiences. These events are programmed during the three school half terms each year, with usually three evening events per half term. The performances of storytelling are occasionally preceded by pre-show talks. The Pit Theatre is an award winning black box theatre, which seats approximately 180 people (depending on the seating configuration). | |
