Stories from the Soul6/17/2023 Photos by Lisa Whiting Recently my friend Gemma Kerr and I have been working on a new storytelling show for We the Curious. We felt the 'Stories from the Stars' shows we held on top of Brandon Hill in Bristol during the Winter had gone well, and we wanted to come up with a Summer alternative.
Together we wrote 'Stories from the Soul', an hour of stories about the soul from science, history, and mythology. We really wanted to give this show a nice balance of science and cultural ideas. We wanted the science to be accurate, and we were careful not to present non-scientific ideas as science. But at the same time, we didn't want to present religious and cultural ideas as something that must kept separate from science at all costs. I'm very happy with what we've created. We explore dark matter, talking gorillas, journeys into the afterlife, umbrellas that come to life to lick unwanted guests, and much more. We're lucky enough to have John Wesley's New Room in Bristol as a venue - the oldest Methodist building in the world! Gemma and I have already performed our show twice so far, and we have two more performances to go. I'm looking forward to them both immensely. If you're in Bristol and this sounds like your sort of thing, check out the details at the link below. Stories from the Soul | We The Curious
