the attraction of this material is; what advice he would give to
a parent wishing to tell a child stoires, and to a storyteller
working with a public audience; what he feels the challenges of
storytelling as a performing art are. Extracts of the interview

Having directed the First International Storytelling festival at
Battersea Arts Centre in 1985 and the Second International
Storytelling Festival at Watermans Arts Centre in 1987, Ben
Haggarty was approached by Ruth McKenzie and the poet Joe
Shapcott to Direct a third festival in the series. In 1989 The
Third International Storytelling Festival took place at The
Southbank Centre, London, and ran for 15 days from 11th to the
25th November. It also had an extensive national touring
component that took storytellers to 12 regional venues. The Arts
Council subsidised it with a £10,000 grant. The Festival
management was undertaken by an agency called the Arts Business.
The whole event was under the aegis of the Literature Department,
(Lead Officer, Maura Dooley). The festival programme included
performances for adult audiences, and school sessions. It was in
response to the programming needs for this festival that Ben
Haggarty founded and launched the Crick Crack Club, to provide a
place where UK based storytellers could develop their repertoire
and performance skills for adult audiences.
