IMAGINATION ON THE LOOSE!
LITERACY THROUGH STORYTELLING, POETRY AND WORDPLAY
Nathalie effortlessly creates stories to spark the imagination and in the realm of story anything is possible! The wise ant, Bamboo has a wild hairdo, Mirabelle’s dress holds magical powers, the shadow gods are creating mischief in the village, the mountain has lost it’s spirit, Edgar forgot his shoes and Madeleine is having a most unlucky morning…
Follow Nathalie as she spins original tales that will engage, inspire and tickle the funny bone. This mesmerizing storytelling performance takes the audience on an interactive ride through modern day fairy tales (with a twist), adventures all in rhyme, folktales from around the world, creation stories and so much more. With audience participation, songs and wordplay, students will fall in love with storytelling and see that stories are in fact everywhere!
WORKSHOP PLUS PERFORMANCE – Stumbling upon a Story
Nathalie invites students to find their own stories from within. With creative brainstorming, introduction to story structure and focus on a chosen genre of story, students will be led through various exercises to get the creative juices flowing and the stories skipping and jumping to the surface.
