Station Stories - Live performances at Manchester Piccadilly
compilation

THE EXPERIENCE

Live performances at Manchester Piccadilly Station to a private audience in headphones, in a very public place, taken on a trip of conspiracy, murder, love and revenge...

Station stories is a unique, site specific, live, literature performance event using digital technology and improvised electronic sound. From platform to platform, café to café and shop to shop, six writers take you on a creative trip at Piccadilly station and read specially commissioned stories. Our published and award winning writers include: David Gaffney, Jenn Ashworth, Nicholas Royle, Peter Wild, Tom Jenks and Tom Fletcher. Sound Artist: Daniel Hopkins

HOW IT WORKS

You are at Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station - You are wearing headphones - You are with a group all wearing headphones - The stations is crowded, people rushing everywhere - You can hear someone speaking in your headphones. She is telling you a story - The reader of the story is somewhere in the crowd, she is reading the story now, it's live - You try to pick her out from the crowd - Eventually she comes into view - She continues to tell the story. She talks to rail travelers around her. They don't know she is telling a story. They don't know she is transmitting live - They don't know about us - This is story telling with a difference - This is performance with a difference - This is Station Stories
