| 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. | |
