Programme Synopsis A programme of age-appropriate stories with the content (themes) and delivery tailored to suit your occasion/audience. Each story usually lasts between 8 - 10 minutes, so expect 3-4 in a 30 minute programme. The performance can be delivered in person, or via zoom*. Delivered live allows for greater physical interaction - in the form of actions, call-and-response, chorusing - which is hugely popular with with lower primary audiences particularly. Zoom allows for greater immediacy - especially when using props or visuals for example, as they are clearly seen by the camera. The programme is usually 30 minutes, but can happily extend to 40 minutes (lower primary) and 50 (upper primary/secondary on zoom, or one hour live.) My style is energetic and often comedic - although I am Merdeka-generation Singaporean, I am a very animated and engaging teller in performance. Thanks to my theatre background, I present my characters both physically and vocally. I often use props, pictures, puppets (for younger audiences) and even incorporate sign language to provide a visual element Common themes are the popular school values - stories to be with R.I.C.E., harmony, teamwork, sharing, positive thinking, STEAM. Curating the programme for you is part of the fun for me which keeps it fresh - Timeless Tales is rarely the same show in two different schools (or for two different age levels!) If I don't have a suitable story in my repertoire, I love hunting for one and extending my repertoire. * (For a selection of pre-recorded single stories, that can be viewed at a convenient time for each teacher and class, please see Roger's AEP digital programme, THE STORY STREAM.
