Blessings, Bodies and the Worlds Beneath – Myths of Land and Water

Drawing on traditional favourites and introducing new ideas, Jason's stories are told in the oldest and best ways – as live performances, for modern audiences and he has performed across the UK and mainland Europe, blending traditional and contemporary motifs, vocal sound effects and pure, unadulterated fantasy.Jason has been a performer most of his adult life, including cabaret and comedy, but his passion lies in stories - ‘there's nothing like getting lost in a story, the pictures in your head are better than film’.Jason has written and published four collections of his own stories, won silver at the last ‘Grand Annual Lying Festival’ and 'Best Bard' at Profound Decisions' 'Theatre of Joy and Sorrow'. He is also a member of the Society for Storytelling, a skilled celebrant for weddings / handfasting, namings and funerals and a member of the UK Society of Celebrants.Jason now lives in Leamington Spa with his family: Partner Kim, son Oskar, and Percy the cat.

Traditional storytelling for modern grown ups, direct to your computer, phone or smart TV

A giant king. A broken promise. Families and nations feud, and the powers of the earth itself watch and wait for good or ill... Acclaimed storytellers Jon Norman-Mason and Jason Buck draw together archaeology, folklore and medieval myth to imagine the beliefs of our Iron Age forebears: from the treasures (and bodies) left as offerings in lakes, pits and bogs, to tales hinting at the blessings hoped for in return.Gods and mysteries, love and magic – it's all waiting if you dare, just beneath our feet!Ages: Adults and older teens (12+)<blockquote>"This is wildly ambitious exuberant storytelling [from Jon]", Brighton Source</blockquote><blockquote>“You [Jon] really brought those stories to life and it made me wonder why we don’t all know these stories of this beautiful land better. I want to go and visit those places now!”, Guesthouse Storytellers, Newhaven</blockquote><blockquote>"My friends and I saw Jason in Leamington last night and I was absolutely blown away. It was my first time at one of his events and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I can't recommend these events enough." Erika, Warwickshire</blockquote><blockquote>"Jason Buck is a man made of myth, magic and mead. His stories are filled with adventure, his beard is full of unexpected twists and his tankard filled with a poet's brew. Sit around the fire and listen to his tales - you won't be disappointed." Abbie, Strange Times Storytelling Club</blockquote>How to watch liveYou'll receive an email after buying a ticket, with the ability to log into your digital ticket for links to the Zoom session.I will be online 15 at least minutes before the start of the show to help, where possible (but can't help after the event has started).You may need to download and install the app Zoom Client for Meetings to participate, so best to do that ahead of time (compatible with most computers and phones etc.): https://zoom.us/downloadHow to watch at a later dateAll ticket holders will get a private link to an unlisted YouTube video of the live show.
