Tamar Williams

Tamar is a professional storyteller based in South Wales. She works bilingually in Welsh and English, and is an experienced performer and workshop facilitator. She has a wide repertoire of Welsh and Celtic mythology, legends, and folktales, as well as stories from all over the world, and crafts performances for a range of audiences, from families in festival tents to big theatre spaces. She often runs workshops to fit with schools’ Myths & Legends and Cynefin programmes.

She can deliver workshops in English, Welsh or bilingually, and interweaves use of incidental Welsh into English-language delivery where appropriate. Previous collaborations have included: Sinfonia Cymru, National Museum of Wales, Beyond the Border Storytelling Festival, Festival at the Edge, Lakefest, Green Man Festival. “For a storyteller, voice should be a thing of power and beauty…Tamar Williams moves seamlessly between speech and song to create magic.” Taffy Thomas, Storyteller
