Gentle rural walks to fascinating historical sites with frequent stops for interpretation of archaeological remains, short informative sketches, relevant stories and occasional poems. The audience are frequently physically involved, handling real archaeological finds or replicas, and becoming part of the reconstructions of the past, such as standing on the sites of post holes to create an iron age roundhouse.
Longshanks & Talesman specialise in site specific events, working to create an interface of interpretation and imagination between the public and the site using relevant archaeological facts and mythology. These are normally promenade events round the site, where the past is brought to life by combining instructive, entertaining lecture and lively storytelling with theatre techniques.
Radio programmes for broadcast or, customised audio guides for museums and historic sites, researched, scripted, performed and recorded for you by Longshanks (studied Archaeology and Theatre Studies at university) and Talesman (professional sound engineer and story teller).
