Will’s Storytelling is so vivid and rich that you can’t help but hang on every word, and be transported across time and space. He has a precious gift for weaving narratives that will stay with you, in you, long after they are told.

About
Will Wilson is a passionate and vibrant storyteller, mythologist and story consultant.
He has long apprenticed to the oral traditions, tuning his ear to the old stories in 2024 completing a masters in Poetics of Imagination at Dartington Art School / Schumacher College and studying with Martin Shaw at the West Country School of Myth.
A combination of skilled storytelling and in-depth understanding of the mythopoetic and symbolic realms that inhabit traditional tales, a storytelling with Will reaches far beyond entertainment. Oral storytelling is the oldest form of passing on wisdom and lineage we have, it is an exploration of our connection to culture, place and ancestry. In a world where our imaginations are storied by images not of our own volition what could be more important than turning towards the old stories and the imaginal realms?
Will’s ability to hold the silly and sincere in equal measures creates an atmosphere of beauty and humour, you can expect to laugh, to think and shed a tear or two. Oral storytelling isn't a script its a conversation with the imagination no two tellings of a story are the same . . . especially when Will is telling!
Will lives in Fremantle, Western Australia with regular stints in the South West of England, when not telling stories Will can be found in the forest, the ocean or reading a book.

“The storyteller is a piece of the wild. They carry the voices of the ancestors, the echoes of the land, and the pulse of life itself.”
