Title
Graham Rogers storytelling
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Graham Rogers was born in the East End of London at the end of WWII. He grew up playing on bomb sites during the day and at bed time he remembers making up the ends of stories after his Father fell asleep telling the beginnings. After a wide variety of short lived careers he became a teacher and taught in Primary Schools for many years, where he specialised in drama, music and, later, the expressive arts. For ten years he was a County Museum Advisory Teacher and it was during this time that he honed his storytelling skills, bringing history alive for children visiting museums. His work was very varied; historic sites, both indoors and outdoors and in museums and schools. During this time he gained a wide experience of storytelling, drama, theatre in education, INSET courses and of course working with museum artefacts. Much of his work still has an historic basis to it, although there are links to a wide spectrum of the curriculum.
