Stories in Motion
With Cassandra Wye
On tour Singapore November –
December 2012
A firm favourite with Singapore audiences, Cassandra
has been invited back to Asia once again!
Stories in Motion: her unique blend of
circus, theatre and dance, with an exuberant, expressive and energy-filled
approach to storytelling, has taken Cassandra around the globe from Barbados to
Borneo, from the depths of the rainforest to the roof of the world.
She has worked across the educational
spectrum, from universities to nurseries, creating intimate shows for
profoundly disabled children and on the streets with audiences of 1000’s. She
has inspired adults and children to tell stories around the world and directed
performances of young people for local, national and international festivals.
She offers international schools a wide
range of performances, workshops and staff training that can be tailored to
suit either the needs of your national curriculum or to International
Baccalaureate system.
Her
performances celebrate the finest of folktales from
around the world and are often bespoke creations to suit the school – to meet a
range of themes from human rights to healthy eating
Her
workshops introduce children and young people to a kinaesthetic approach to story-telling,
story-making, creative writing and collaborative performance.
Her
staff training inspires educators to use
storytelling as a catalyst for learning across the curriculum from maths to
music –making, from kindergarten to senior school, both indoors and outside the
classroom
