Michael performs, solo and with other artists, throughout the UK, Europe, North and South America, and is a popular UK festival and storytelling club performer. Michael's repertoire is international in nature, though he draws particular inspiration from the Welsh oral heritage and landscape, and with a love of languages, has a strong interest in bi-lingual storytelling. Most of his work is in either English or Welsh and occasionally both at the same time! He works as a storyteller throughout the education sector from nursery to degree level courses and devises community projects delivered with other artists. Michael is multi-lingual and his book O Passaro e os Dois Mundos, a Scottish firebird story in Portuguese illustrated by Renata Bueno, is published by Larousse.

Balance Of Things (Or How To Settle A Debt With A Chicken).the

Synopsis:
Venture into the vibrant and liminal world of Breton fairytales, and a landscape filled with encounters with beauties, beasts, strange companions, bizarre marriages, and ruthless atonement. In a charm-your-socks-off performance, Michael Harvey draws on the collections of Francois-Marie Luzel, to recast and retell these grown up tales of wonder with a disarmingly light touch. these stories come from a place where everyday life and the fantastic collide - somewhere simultaneously earthy, ethereal and real. . .with a decidedly comedic twist.
