"They weave magic into everything they do. They transport, transfix and transform. I could listen to them for hours."
-Tom Fortes Mayer, the Freemind Project
International Storytellers Eleanor Buchan and Zoie Kennedy are The Shadow Travellers. Shape shifting and travelling through the timeless shadowlands of story to produce improvised tales which are unique to each specific audience, time and place. From a candlelit barge in central London to a brothel deep in the beating heart of Amsterdam's red light district they have spun their web of stories to capture their listeners and hold a candle to their needs, fears and dreamscapes. Sometimes they soothe, sometimes they shock, oftentimes they heal.
Now move closer. Bathe in the shadows. Rest in the arms of the shadow travellers, and remember...
Who Are We?The right people in the perfect place at the perfect time

What Do We Do?The only thing that can be done
