English Performer & Storyteller
-
Apr 2017 - Dec 2021
Collaborating with several Kids & Us schools around Catalonia, I regularly perform in a number of "Storytimes" at different locations such as libraries, schools and special events. "Storytimes" are short educational theatre plays, entirely in English, aimed at either babies (0-3 years old) or kids (3-8 years old). As a single actor/actress, it is essential to be very fluent in English as well as being able to interact with the audience by making them repeat words and answer questions, so apart from performing a certain amount of experience as an educator is needed.
