Mark Borthwick is an eco-folklorist and Doctor of Fish (actually true), who trained as a storyteller with the travelling folk of the North of England. On roadside and fireside, from lay-by to lane’s end – Mark is well-known for stories weaving music and myth. For the past three years Mark has been the fearless leader of the Young Edinburgh Storytellers, a storytelling company which explores queer and ecological themes in myth. Now he is producing solo shows which provide new poetic metaphors to imagine ourselves more complexly, cutting deeply into the bones of culture and identity, exploring new eco-citizenships.
