Storyfair
For several years Dominic Kelly has worked with years 3, 4 and 5 at Sir John Barrow School, introducing the children to stories from the international oral tradition, and teaching them performance and storytelling skills. The project culminated in successful and popular performances at Ulverston Coronation Hall as part of Furness Tradition festival.
In order to keep the project going during the current restrictions, Dominic recorded several stories for his groups of storytellers along with some exercises and tips on performing.
Some of these recordings have been circulated to friends at other schools in Cumbria and elsewhere by adding stories to this page week by week. The project blog also includes some examples of Kamishibai storytelling from Cathy Sullivan, and some craft ideas to accompany her work.
