...the story
tellin' man |
"An
incredible storyteller - definitely world class" "A
master of his craft" "When
Billy takes the stage, you step through the looking glass" "We
have solved the generation problem! His name is Billy Teare". "A
uniquely entertaining storyteller" "His
affable personality, style and professionalism captivated the
hearts of all whom he met, from 3 to 83" "Billy
can do almost anything imaginable with a story". "An
incredible entertainer with a natural talent for more than just
storytelling" "He
had tots, teens and timid adults dancing in their seats within
five minuits... audiences have been enraptured by Teare's performances
throughout his trip". "
I was particularly moved by the ease of the performance with people
who had learning difficulties". "
It is Billy's proud boast that he has told stories to people of
every age, from 2 to 102, but for the hard pressed Librarian or
Teacher, desperate to encourage genuine participation and interest
from the 11-16 age group, then Billy is a heaven sent gift. In
the present climate of financial prudence and value for money,
a visit from Billy Teare, The Storytellin' Man, should gladden
the heart of even the most parsimonious accountant, not to mention
the audience. "I have been familiar with Billy Teare's educational work for over 10 years and I have observed his working with children of all ages, from pre-school to GCSE. In addition to being a gifted storyteller and talented performer, Billy also has a rare ability to enthuse and engage his audience in a playful exploration of language. He takes an infectious and mischievous delight in subverting established modes and so enables children to interrogate the creative possibilities of words on a rollercoaster of joyful discovery. I would happily recommend him without reservation. |
