Storytelling

Storytelling is a powerful educational tool. This ancient art is accessible to children of all ages and abilities. It encourages good listening skills, supports language development and is a huge stimulus to the imagination.

One Moment In Time delivers storytelling performances in schools, museums, libraries and festivals. Drawing on a wide repertoire of folk tales, myths and legends from cultures around the world, individual storytelling sessions are tailored to suit the venue and age group.

In addition to these tailor made sessions, we have two storytelling shows available to tour, In to the Wild, Wild Wood- the trees and their secrets and An Ocean of Stories - tales from beneath the sea.

Bronia Evers of One Moment In Time trained at the International School of Storytelling. Her unique storytelling style combines dynamic use of voice and gesture with live accordion music.

In to the Wild, Wild Wood - the trees and their secrets

Have you ever wondered what it looks like inside the heart of a tree? Could human kindness really help to bring a dying tree back to life? In these tales of natural wonder, journey to Africa, Europe and native America and discover the secret wisdom of the trees. Dynamic storytelling, song and live accordion music combine to bring these tales vividly to life.

An Ocean of Stories - tales from beneath the sea.

A fisherman who marries a mysterious Selkie maid, a fish who helps young Davy to escape the clutches of the Devil, and the headstrong pirate Grace O'Malley ruler of the Irish Sea. Explore the rich folklore of the British Isles with these tall tales from the depths of the ocean. Told with story, song, live accordion music and lots of joining in!

Both shows are suitable for children aged 4+. The story 'menu' for each show is adapted appropriately for schools audiences of older children.
