Books!
Storytelling and books are a wonderful way of exploring drama. By reading and delving into books through their characters and story, we can really bring books to life and inspire our drama practice. I have selected some books we will use within the classes; listed below.
I am also very excited to tell you that I will be using the Goose Series of books by Laura Wall! Laura has very kindly agreed to her books being used for all classes! Please click on the below images to visit the Goose website and find out more about Goose’s journey!
Laura Wall is an incredibly talented artist, illustrator and author based in Teignmouth, Devon; where you can visit her beautiful galley. For more information please visit: https://www.laurawall.com/
Another exciting piece of news is that Sheena Roberts has very kindly agreed for me to use Playsongs in the Drama with Sensory Experience classes. I am very excited to bring these songs to life and I think you will love them! Please visit the Playsongs website for more information and purchase your copy of the book and CD here!
