Chris Adriaanse a storyteller and spoken word artist based in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland.

He tells stories in the oral tradition, where each telling begins afresh each time.

I have a fondness for curious and enthralling stories from the great collections of traditional folk and fairy tales, beloved by adults and children alike.

Stories I Tell

Oral stories have the uncanny ability to teleport us to other worlds while also touching on questions of our shared humanity.

My Inspiration

I discovered oral storytelling in 2017 and have told stories in schools, museums, festivals and storytelling clubs in the UK.

Originally, I trained as a scientist and, after completing a PhD in chemistry in 2010, I discovered my fascination with words and stories.

I also work as a freelance writer and editor.
