Eli Anderson '''Storyteller. Poet and Narrative CoachBold text'''.

Eli has developed his writing in and performance techniques over 35 years. During this time, he performed in the following comic operas:

Iolanthe,

Pirates of Penzance,

The Mikado.

As a strong baritone, he worked with the following choirs:

Snowdown Male Voice

Thanet Male Voice

Croydon Male Voice

Sandford Meisner acting training greatly influenced his overall storytelling work and consequentially his later performances. But it was his work as a session and classical musician, that began to craft the phraseology and internal structures that he uses to construct his writing style. It has been noted that "his poetry scans as though it was a jazz composition" (Hideaway, Streatham).

Currently Eli's storytelling work is extremely varied. From working with patients (adult and children) in a variety of Healthcare settings, teaching storytelling and creative writing, delivering open access short courses, regular storytelling workshops, lecturing and individual and group work.
