'Motherhood': A Storytelling with Jan Blake

A hunter is witnessed killing a buffalo, by her calf. The calf, a shapeshifter, transforms into a girl, measuring her foot in the imprint of the hunter’s foot on the forest floor. Realising that she’s too young, she vows to take revenge when old enough, and nurses the wound. As an adult, she pursues the hunter, intending to kill him, but the hunter’s mother saves the day.

Join Jan Blake as she shares a tale exploring the depths and mysteries of motherhood. Following the telling, Jan will lead us as we feed the story with an openhearted and transformative discussion.

As one of the Europe's leading storytellers, and a Fifth Direction steward, Jan has been performing worldwide for over thirty-six years. Specialising in stories from Africa, the Caribbean, and Arabia, she has a well-earned reputation for dynamic and generous storytelling.
