Arts Council of Tamworth

Arts Council of Tamworth presents Japanese storyteller, mime and teacher Motoko to Tamworth for an intensive five-day residency during Tamworth’s 250th anniversary year. Motoko will tell stories to the general public in a Choose Your Own Ticket Price performance, and to K-12 area students and their teachers. In honor of the 250th she will offer workshops to area students, teachers and community members in creating and telling place-based stories—personal, historical, or new-minted “folk tales”—using words and mime. Some of these community stories may be recorded and/or shared as an opener at Motoko’s Friday night performance.
