Learning through stories and theatre
Stories are adventures, journeys into different worlds… Fantasy, magic and imagination help to make the learning of a second or even third language a whole new experience.
Since the beginning of time stories have helped to teach us about values, culture, nature and the world around us. Through stories we also get to experience all kinds of emotions.
What better way to grasp the concepts of a language, its sounds and meaning than listening to and watching a storyteller, a native storyteller passionate about what he does…

My creative process
When writing or adapting stories for storytelling, I pay special attention to the content and how it will help the students to broaden their vocabulary, improve their understanding of grammatical structures, their pronunciation and general concept of the sound of English in its entirety. I also consider the different register to use when preparing material for children from different age groups and school years.
Vocabulary
The use of different adjectives to describe the same thing or situation is always a great help in introducing students to a more complex vocabulary and its uses. Always accompanying it with a gestural and descriptive theatrical presentation, giving the students a far deeper understanding of the use of these words and the ability to grasp new concepts.
Grammar
I try to use a variety of verb forms in the same story or scene; present simple, past simple, past continuous, etc. The text of the story alongside the dramatization therefore allows students to deepen their understanding of the meaning of each verb and its different uses.
Visual aids
Panels containing key words and images is another way of presenting and highlighting the most important contents of each story or activity so the children can grasp the main ideas in order to understand them and enjoy the show even more.
Sound
Full Sound systems in various formats depending on sizes of venues. Music and audio tracks help to add to the overall experience…
Lighting
Stage lighting is fantastic for creating different atmospheres and enhancing details…
Versatility
My shows can be adapted to any space whatsoever; halls, theatres, classrooms, libraries or even the open air.
Worksheets
I provide additional material to complement all the different shows and activities.
