The Storyteller’s New Gambit

In 2012, Storytellers Eleonore Nicolas and Fiona Dowling embarked in a design, technology and storytelling project to bring magic into the hospital ward. They developed a musical costume – ‘ Storydress’- for their storytelling with lights embedded, as well as a prop nicknamed ‘ StoryWheel’ to encourage the children to come up with their own stories, or co-create some with the staff or their parents, siblings and friends.
