I Am A Storyteller 2025 Call Out

We are looking for creatively curious storytellers, who get excited about new ways of working, like to think imaginatively, and enjoy a challenge.

I Am A Storyteller

I Am A Storyteller is the third phase of our four-year I Am A Creator cultural programme. I Am A Creator is funded by investment from Arts Council England, through our status as an ACE National Portfolio Organisation.

We are looking for five creatively curious storytellers to:

Develop their practice by attending paid Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Work collaboratively with Inspire, our partners, and other storytellers on the project
Engage creatively with our target audiences to ignite imaginations and create a county of storytellers

We are open to creative approaches to storytelling. Whether that’s oral, visual, digital or something else entirely. We are looking for storytellers in the widest sense of the word and across a range of disciplines. This could be writers, performers, or other creatives who tell stories through their work. If storytelling is at the heart of your creative practice, we want to hear from you.

I Am A Creator

I Am A Creator aims to provide high quality arts opportunities for people of all ages to explore their creativity. Each year will become a different 'I Am A...' theme, with I Am A Writer in year one and I Am An Artist in year two.
