Performing Alice's Adventures in Wonderland at Glastonbury Library

I have many years experience of telling stories and running workshops in schools. I have a degree in Theatre Arts and directed youth theatres for many years.

I will create a selection of stories, games and drama fun specifically to meet your needs.

“Sarah, thank you for coming into our school. The children were buzzing from your visit long after you had left”
—Wayne Higgins, Headteacher, Kingsbury Episcopi Primary School

These are a few examples of my school workshops:

Talk Like an Egyptian

Stories of Egyptian gods and goddesses woven with ancient rituals relating to the pyramids and writing simple poems to the river Nile.

Speak Out

A day of interactive storytelling to encourage confidence and full self expression.

“I heard some of the children speak out for the first time in Sarah's workshop”
—Janet Young, Teacher, Lazonby C of E School, Penrith, Cumbria

World Book Day

I bring children’s favourite books to life with hilarious results. Including: James and the Giant Peach, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Hotter than Potter (magic and wonder tales).

“Sarah's retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been the most successful event in the history of the library”
—Alex, Librarian, Glastonbury Library

Stories for Young Girls

I have many stories that introduce young women to the gifts and responsibilities of their menstrual cycle. I create a safe space in which they can share their concerns and celebrate their bodies.

“I really enjoyed the safe space you held and look forward to doing more workshops with you”
—Rosie Foy

INSET day

I have worked with many teachers, supporting them to find their story voices and use their unique gifts and creativity within their classes.
