Hello, I'm a local storyteller based in ED who has been working proffessionally for the past 13 years. I started off at the Horniman where I did family storytelling, under 5's sessions and deliver the tours (as Mr Horniman). I work all over the country performing in schools and at festivals like WOMAD. I've got a 2 yr old son, and so would like to do more of my weekend work locally so as to spend more time 'en famille' rather than travelling. I work with all age groups, having taught many nursery staff storytelling for pre-schoolers, as well as projects with the the likes of the Tower of London and the National Maritime Museum. I'm particularly proud of having been chosen to be the artist in residence at Great Ormond Street Hospital for 2010. Well, that's me! I wondered whether parents would be interested in having a storyteller as part of the entertainment for their children's parties? I think 1 hour slots would work well, using traditional folktales for school-aged children, and highly interactive story, songs 'n' rhymes for the little ones. Please add any thoughts. Many thanks, Josh Gaillemin
