PERFORMANCE

'I loved your story telling for I feel it reaches deep within the soul to bring forth a multi-dimensional experience… So wonderful to be engaged in all the senses, listening to your narrative and feeling the story really come alive through the voice and our own imagination – long live the storyteller!’ 
Miriam, Metageum, Malta 2007

I can offer a selection of magical tales and verse adaptable  to any venue or event - suitable for all ages. I've performed in cinemas, libraries, marquees, museums, art centres, small theatres, bookshops, castles, Iron Age round houses, and at camps, festivals, private parties, weddings, memorial services, medieval banquets, story circles and open mics. I 've told stories from around the world, and can find material to fit any curriculum, exhibition or event. I am interested in stories that raise awareness and prompt discussion about environmental issues, and specialise in Celtic material with a bardic approach, weaving in my own poetry, and creating an enchanting atmosphere.
