Storytelling for drama and writing and play is a sharing of yourself and of the wondrous world around us. Come and be inspired to improve your storytelling and so in turn, light a fire for your students.
Tanya says "Sound is the first sense that ignites in us and perhaps nothing delights the human ear more than these four words spoken in succession, "Once Upon a Time.' My love of story began as a child. My story companions as a young girl lived in songs, books, on the tip of the tongue and out of the corner of my eye. They were elusive goddesses, giant devil dingos, defiant outlaws, quick witted tricksters and children who sailed on a dreamboat ship every night. My fascination with these worlds conjured by words became my real imaginary job".
