With a range of stories short and long, tons of gently strong personality and good humour, let me bring my decade of hosting experience to your event and help you and your guests shine and inspire.

WORKSHOPS
Full Day Workshop for Adults
(4.5-5hrs)
An introduction to storytelling basics, moving into more individual and group work. Time is dedicated to workshopping and developing a chosen story from basics to performance ready. Participants can bring a chosen story or pick from provided examples and will work together in small groups, receive individual support and will perform the story at the end of the workshop.
For individual mentoring or for assistance on a specific creative project, check out my collaborate with me page.
Family Friendly Events
Available for storytelling performances ages 6+ ranging from 5mins to 50mins. Just ask. Children, teens, young adults and all the family can be catered to. I have a wide range of storytelling performances and workshops to suit you. Whether you have a specific group in mind or are looking for something more intergenerational and fun for all the family.
An introduction to storytelling basics: moving into more individual and group work.
Participants will be guided through an interactive workshop experience, where they will be encouraged through group work and individual reflection to tell their own stories.
We explore what we need to make a story happen, beginnings, middles and endings and of course enthusiastic listeners!
Using a mix of drama games and storytelling exercises we explore the world of story making together. Build our own story and share them with each other. Playing with sound, movement and props, participants discover the building blocks of storytelling and create and tell their own story.
Workshops can include, chats, paper crafts, drawing and dance breaks.
