Storytelling
Trained
in drama, I have worked with young people from 5 to 18 over a teaching
career of twenty years. I love performing and inject humour and
liveliness into a programme that entertains as well as educates.
I work in schools, libraries, universities and bookshops, tailoring
each performance to the audience. I hope to leave everyone a little
wiser and very enthused.
Don’t take my word for it, here are a few comments I have received:

Your visit more than lived up to our
expectations. I will be recommending you to everyone.

The children have been inspired by your input. I
was only able to sit in on one session but can already see that the
children are buzzing across the school. The challenge for us now will
be to ensure that this is harnessed to make them all potential writers
of the future.

When you came to the end of your story telling,
you could hear a pin drop. The children were totally caught up in it.

The language Val uses to create an image of the
characters is a real strength of her writing.
