Storytelling
Many years ago I saw a Storyteller in the ruins of an old castle many years ago telling about dragons and wandering heroes.
My performances follow these influences to create informal and flexible experiences using new or traditional tales indoor, outdoor or wherever the people can be gathered.
Writing
Creating stories, scripts or poetry from research or workshops with participants.
I can create original material, themes or prompts or use those already developed and help to expand, edit or bridge the spaces in between.
Workshops
Creativity can happen in any space at any moment. By creating a space that is informal, safe and respectful; people, their creativity and stories can grow and flourish.
I run workshops with all age ranges including teenagers, toddlers, older adults, graduates and primary ages.
These include storytelling, wellbeing, writing and crafts.
Podcasts/Audio
As a co-founder of The Noisy Library & The Noisy Children’s Library I have created, developed and produced podcasts and audio stories with children in and out of school settings and with community groups.
From old folktales retold to the voices of today, they all matter and all deserve to be heard.

About Me
I am Tom. Born in Cheshire and I have lived in Manchester, London, Sheffield, New Zealand and now in Warrington.
I stumbled through the education system, discovering a passion for performance and art along the way. Eventually I got into drama school, LAMDA & then MMU School of Theatre. I have been privileged to be taught by some wonderful practitioners from all over the world and have been able to share my experience through workshops, classes and as a director.
I am a proud founder and director of Story Stitchers, aiming to help people in a wide variety of settings to tell their stories and benefit from hearing others tell theirs.
