Performer Name: Corinne Harragin
Show Name: Troubled Waters
Show Description
With over 4,000 miles of polluted waterways, Britain and Ireland’s rivers are in ruin. This vibrant new tapestry of transporting tales winds through stories that have shaped our relationship with rivers, the lifeblood of our landscape. Leaping salmon, fishtail women, mythical raves & sacred springs… These enchanting and surprising tales present characters who question what is set in stone and find their own flow. With each meandering stream and rushing river, we dip our toes into vital waters and ask what new connections are found when we look with fresh eyes beneath the surface?

Corinne Harragin has been touring around the UK telling stories for the last ten years. Using physicality and humour she reanimates the written-down-ness of story with her own brand of oral performance. Corinne also runs storytelling workshops to help us find our storytelling voices. Her recent show Troubled Waters tells the stories of sacred rivers and springs. As a research associate at the University of Bristol, her current project Storying the Avon (funded by the Brigstow Institute) explores connection to water through storytelling. She also designs and delivers storytelling and presentation skills training for the universities of Bristol and Gloucestershire. She has recently completed an MA at The University of Bristol in which she researched contemporary forms of oral storytelling.
