The Storyteller
Each student enters the storyteller's circle knowing they will be sharing their stories, telling tales and listening to some of the greatest stories ever told!
"Literature ... is the rediscovery of childhood" Georges Bataille
Moira Clark leads the students through a magical journey, teaching each person the skills to excite and enthrall the listener as the storyteller shares the tale. She demonstrates how to use props, costumes and a range of drama skills to create moods, different worlds, faraway lands, amazing characters and she teaches the students how to be a wonderful storyteller!
The Storyteller's Circle focuses on a huge range of skills allowing the children see a demonstration, adapt that skill for themselves and then they will perform within a paired, group or class environment. As with all of the creative team, Moira uses praise effectively to create a wonderful environment of language, stories and enjoyment of books and bring awe and wonder into the storyteller's circle at Writer's Inked.
Moira's favourite authors are; 'John Steinbeck' (Of Mice and Men'), 'Cecilia Ahern' ('Thanks for the memories') 'Clive King' ('Stig of the Dump').
