The story created is based on a multi sensory, initial stimulus offered by the storyteller. The storyteller then builds on ideas and any developing narrative coming from children's responses, both physical and verbal.
As part of the residency we offer 2 short CPD workshops or planning sessions with staff to help them learn how to integrate drama and storytelling as a transformative teaching tool.
"These experiences are vital for all children in helping them to explore their understanding of the world around them. Three reluctant talkers became absorbed and involved, calling out their ideas."
