Introduction by Ben Haggarty to Abbi Patrix.
Crick Crack call and response in the style of the French
Carribean and the French, followed by commentary about why
storytellers tell stories and how storytelling occurs on
someone's death, followed by story told by Abbi Patrix. A story
about a boy who accidentally kills his brother in a brawl over
ownership of wood. The story explores why we dance and sing at
funerals.

Abbi Patrix appeared at the Barbican for this
event as a special guest, arranged by Ben Haggarty.

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).
|
|
Performing in the programme The Tales They Tell were Ben
Haggarty, Daniel Morden, Jan Blake, Chirine El Ansary and Pamela
Marre, with music from Hassan Erraji. Hugh Lupton was programmed
to appear, but did not due to a family bereavement. Abbi Patrix
was a surprise guest performer.
