Annamations, Anna, Anna and Susannah

Top performers for storytelling festival.

Internationally renowned performers will be among key attractions for the third Isle of Wight Storytelling Festival from 23rd to 26th May.

Based at the Riverside Centre, Newport, with 'Ferry Tales' as its theme, the festival's headline acts will be the British trio Annamation, American Sam Cannarozzi and Cassandra Wye.

Island Storytellers, the group behind the festival has been able to attract high-calibre performers thanks to a £9,000 grant from the Lottery's Awards for All scheme.

Combining the spoken word, song and characterisation, Annamation (Anna Conomos, Anna O'Brien and Susannah Willetts) will be entertaining passengers about Wightlink's Portsmouth to Fishbourne ferry on the Saturday 24 May.

Ashore, Annamation will perform their new show, Tongue & Groove at the Riverside that evening.  They will also be running a workshop for aspiring storytellers the following morning.

Sam Cannarozzi's background in the USA as a multi-lingual student of dance and the performing arts has helped to ensure his reputation as a global storyteller.

Tastes, scents, the sounds of music and foreign languages, pictures, objects, fabrics and a mass of colour all feature in his act and will be evident when he performs at the Riverside on Sunday 25th May, followed on the Monday morning by a workshop.

Also featuring twice in the programme is Cassandra Wye, a widely-travelled festival performer in the UK and abroad.  She will be providing entertainment at the Big Green Picnic on Saturday 24th May and then on the bank holiday Monday she will round off the festival with a performance in the afternoon.
