Workshops and Training

I have nearly a decade's experience writing interactive workshops and shows for children and adults on various scientific topics, as well as training in effective communication, voice work and storytelling. Moreover, I have worked with various groups including community organisations, science festivals and theatre groups. I am excited to create workshops based on your needs or to offer one of a few options below:

YOUR CLIMATE STORY

Adults and young people, 75mins

A workshop giving people confidence to talk about their experience of climate, in exploring creativity in storytelling and in imagining a better future

GREEN SPACES AND STORYTELLING

Adults and Young People, full day/half day

A workshop that encourages people to find and perform stories about the green spaces around them. Note that this is delivered with a second storyteller.

COMMUNICATION AND VOCAL TRAINING

All ages, various

Training focusing on how to use your voice, make a message the most simple it can be, and working out your audience's needs. Can be tailored to your group.
