Storylistening at any age

Listening to stories at any age almost automatically brings back in us that prehistorical meaning of sharing stories. Our bodies connect to the experiences of the heroes and heroines within. We feel their emotions, their fears, their happiness. Our brains start thinking what we can learn from the shared stories ourselves.

Sometimes listening together to the same story gives more depth and connection among you than hours of talking. Therefore during the year I often give performances.

Are you looking for something special for a special occasion or about a special theme? A Story performance might be a good idea. We can create a story together, or I tell an existing story, fairy tale or myth. These performances variate from 5 minutes till 60 minutes.

I tell stories in Dutch, English and French, or in a mixture of these languages.

Sound of Love (12+)

A musical Storytelling performance

On the search for true love. The performance is based on the Greek story about the love between the human girl Psyche and the son of the goddess Aphrodite, Eros. Martine van der Meulen (Music Medicine) and Frédérique te Dorsthorst (BalancedStory) let you experience, hear, see and sense in words and sounds that this age-old story is still worth listening too.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love is jealous of the beauty and purity of the girl, Psyche. An ordinary human child who, in the eyes of the godess, will never be good enough for her own son Eros. But Psyche is the girl her son accidentally fell hopelessly in love with. She is also the girl who damages the appointment with her beloved son with all the consequences that entails…

Psyche gives everything she has out of love for Eros in the hope of getting him back. She gets a number of impossible tasks from Aphrodite, but will she manage to complete them alone….?

Sound of Love is a performance in which language declares love for music. The notes of the music go in search for the words of the story and vice versa. The melodies search for the senses and find their meaning for ourselves and for our lives in their encounter.

Sound of Love is a performance about our own inner masculinity and femininity. About their different characteristics, about the necessity of a balance between them and about being disbalanced in your own life, because one of them is too dominant or the other seems lost.

Duration: +/- 60 min
Language: Dutch or English

Because of the intimacy of the story and the theme in combination with the music, the performance is particularly suitable for more intimate (living room) theaters (max 60 people).

Teambuilding: the Art of Joy

The story of Psyche and Eros can also be ‘used’ as a red thread during a teambuilding. During a day Martine and Frédérique tell parts of the story. In between the team dives deeper into the story and connect it to their own questions, themes or issues they have in their day-to-day work together.

Using a myth like that is a totally different management approach, which surely will activate the creativity of your team. Therefor you will find different solution than normal.

Mooi om te ervaren hoe je in een groep toch met je zelf in stilte kunt wandelen en dat het inleidende verhaal echt tot denken heeft gezet.
