Story Telling |

Oral story telling is a rich and valuable way to educate and entertain, encouraging imagination and visualisation from the audience while increasing speaking and listening skills and taking them on a journey into values and mysteries. WishWorks use a blend of original and traditional stories; our performers making them alive and vibrant, capturing the audience and leading them into an interactive and multi-sensory world of images and ideas. Stories can be solo or involve puppetry and music. We also have several puppet-led fairy tales which are retellings of traditional fairy tales such as Snow White and Rapunzel. In these shows a naughty puppet interrupts the story and adds or changes parts so that he/she can be in it. Selected children can also dress up and join in with the show. Themes for story sessions covered by WishWorks include Creation Myths, marine themes, animals/woodland theme and fairy tales but storytelling can be catered to your venue or event. A teacher at a primary school in Brighton expressed amazement that a child with ADD had sat enthralled throughout a creation myths storytelling session. When she approached the child he replied “well, it was a good story”! “A very big thank you for all your hard work. I was told by so many people how fantastic your shows were and I could hear from the children’s reaction that you provided some really brilliant entertainment for them- and the adults! I’m really hoping that you come back next year. Thanks for your patience and flexibility and generous contribution in providing some top entertainment for everyone” Lisa Westoff, Festival of Jim |
