Janice Witherspoon

Janice Witherspoon trained at the International School of Storytelling at Emerson College in Sussex in 2009 and started working as a storyteller on the open farm in Sussex where she lived, using it as a tool for teaching children about nature and the environment. She still loves these types of stories but since returning to her native Co. Antrim in 2018 she has delved deeply into Irish myths and legends and the lore of the Glens of Antrim bringing these to all types of audiences and age groups. She also runs courses on these for the Open Learning Centre at Queens' University, Belfast. She is a member of a local collective, the Dalriada Legends ( www.dalriada legends.co.uk ) which regularly performs all over the North and further afield.
