Children’s stories are very often fables that use characters and the story itself to gently illustrate how good behaviour can be rewarded and vice versa. There is a rich tradition of story telling all over the world and although stories are told in many different languages and styles, a good story rather like a good piece of music, has a universality that knows no boundaries and can travel with ease around the globe.

Working alongside Spirasi we are looking to bring this rich tradition of story telling to live studio audiences of school children from inner city schools. As we enter the production stage of our Storyworld project with our partners Spirasi, we are on the look out for materials and props that can be used to create theatrical sets that will capture the imagination of our audiences, both live and on our screens. If you can help donate any of the following it would be greatly appreciated. Get in touch here if you can help provide any of the following.
