Bernadette Russell performs Celtic mythology and folklore narratives at historical sites across southern England, with a regular residency at Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire. Her signature piece, "The Hill King Lays Sleeping," incorporates Iron Age archaeological elements from the performance locations into traditional Celtic tales.

Her storytelling practice includes documentation work with cultural heritage initiatives, notably the Once Upon a Time in Luton oral history archive. She conducts story-gathering sessions in urban communities, recording local narratives and personal histories for preservation. These collected stories inform her live performances and digital storytelling projects. Russell creates performance pieces that merge traditional folklore with experimental staging techniques at heritage venues and arts festivals. Her repertoire encompasses character-based solo works, multimedia storytelling installations, and collaborative projects with historical interpreters. The performances focus on Celtic and British mythology adapted for adult audiences seeking cultural context.
