We welcome back @DawnLlewellyn from @uochester for 2022's #storyhousechildless to introduce each event. Storyhouse is a safe space for you to feel welcome and safe. Every event is ‘relaxed’ which means that you can come and go when you need to.
The day will start with an in-conversation between @gatewaywomen @DawnLlewellyn, they will frame the day ahead and talk about the important, and often slippery nature of labels and definitions. Jody is considered the global thought leader on female involuntary childlessness.
The 1st of 3 events include: theatre maker @msvhf introduce personal stories from founder of @childlessweek, author & world expert in male childlessness & ageing @robinhadley1 + two women will tell their story to an audience for the 1st time – they're #childfree & #CNBC
After lunch, author of the book Dreaming of the Life Unlived Yvonne John will introduce a ‘men’s panel’ hear more personal stories from Ron Whalley of @rainbowssilver, Andy Harrod of @invisibleCNBC, childless by choice @_bransby_, @robertnurden and Ed Harrison.
Join @betty_poet PHD student @manmetuni as she facilitates a writing workshop for people who love to write and for people who think they can't'! Betty’s debut poetry pamphlet, Girl Parts was published by @VervePoetryPres earlier this year.
The final storytelling event will be chaired by @andyharrod79 who will chat to @neurodivergent actor/writer @robbiecurran, Hana Amner Illustrator and Priest @creativehpriest and Berenice Smith from @thefullstop1
Before a dinner break, hear performance poetry by @betty_poet who will read from Girl Parts. Betty has been hailed as ‘tender, fierce, full of joy and rage’ by author @helenmort

The day will come to a close with the FINAL EVER performance of @edfringe hit show How to Be Amazingly Happy written and performed by @msvhf. 'This show is for feminist fearsomes, artist geniuses, queer fabulouses, mature wilders and gorgeous singles!' bit.ly/3STNHVB
