PERFORMANCE |
|---|
Roger Stevens performs in schools, festivals, museums and libraries all over the UK and is fast making a name for himself as a children's poet and performer. Performances, for all age groups, last for around an hour and feature music, humour and lots of audience participation. Workshops, for large or small groups of children of any age, combine several aspects of creative writing, poetry and music, during which Roger draws on over fifteen years' teaching experience to produce either a souvenir of his visit or a performance by children featuring their work. Sessions can be tailored to fit the requirements of a school or library and are ideal for book weeks. Roger also works with adults, parents and teachers. |
