Storytelling
Being a solo storyteller, Johnny Gillett can adapt his material to whatever programme best suits your school’s needs. He is able to work with anyone aged from 4 to 18 and in a classroom, school hall or even outside.

See the links to the left for the range of stories available. All of these can be told and used in many ways:

• to enhance understanding and appreciation of a subject under study (e.g. History or cultures)

• as examples for classes to work from

• starter points for discussion (e.g. Black History Month)

• in celebration of storytelling for National Storytelling Week, World Book Day, Christmas or another festival o the end of the academic year.

Workshops
Oracy can work as a powerful springboard into Literacy and Johnny makes much use of his past work as Drama Teacher and Youth Worker to deliver lessons and workshops which explore ideas, characters and story structure. He has developed various techniques, such as the Storyweb and storiotypes, which have proved invaluable in giving pupils the confidence to create their own stories and then go on to tell them to an audience.

All stories contained in the links to the left can be adapted to a workshop format. For teacher training click here

Special Educational Needs

“It is so beneficial for our pupils to have discovered a storyteller who really understands the needs and learning styles of our pupils. All of our pupils have severe or complex learning difficulties. You have just the right combination of simplicity, visuals, pace, length of performance and pupil interaction.”

Christine Little (Assistant Head)
