About the Event
Simone is a storyteller and writer from Germany. Her hometown of Beverungen is close to the Fairy Tale Road which runs all through Germany and connects the settings of various Grimm fairy tales. Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and the Pied Piper of Hamlin were her neighbours, is it a wonder she turned to storytelling?
Simone first came to Ireland as the apprentice of well-known storyteller Liz Weir. She fell in love with the art of storytelling and with Ireland and decided to stay. As the founder of the storytelling theatre StoryGate (www.storygate.net), she thrives to bring stories to everyone.
She has performed extensively across Ireland in libraries, schools and at festivals, including the Cape Clear Island International Storytelling Festival, the Kilkenny Arts Festival and the Mountains to Sea Book Festival. Simone is the newly appointed Secretary of Storytellers of Ireland and on the committee of the Cape Clear Island International Storytelling Festival.
