Workshops

Simon engages with the children in a special way with humour and discipline that encourages them to become actors and work as a team. The skills he focuses on exemplifies current National Curriculum content with its emphasis on Talk for Writing (also links to SEAL objectives) through enhanced Speaking and Listening opportunities. His willingness to adapt content to fit in with Topic or Key Stage makes this a very accessible workshop for all and being a one man band means it is also affordable (from a Key Stage One co-ordinator).

Performances

The Curiosity Engine 2007 to present
You live, go to work, go to sleep, are sad, are angry, wait for the next moment, are happy, you are contented with your life. Sometimes you find a good book or you see a film on TV and after that you hold in for a while, for a short moment, thinking about your situation, about human being and suddenly there are more questions.
But on a night out, on a very good night out your feet lead you to a mystic place - to a room where time is not important. And then you can feel a little bit of your own - Who am I?
If you leave this place it is not over - it holds on for a long time!
Thanks for this moment...
