The Singing Storycloth is a collection of eight song-stories from around the world, collected and retold by Helen East. Each story has a theme related to fabric and is supported by activities in music. But there are also activities for making and using a variety of simple puppets. The activities are flexible and can be enjoyed in the classroom in the course of creative work in music, drama, DT, and language, but will also have the potential for short performances at assembly. Puppetry activities are being written by a team of experienced performers and workshop leaders - Liz Waugh MacManus and Mike MacManus of Obelon Arts - with musical activities by Janet Koralambe, music workshop leader and performer with Obelon.
28 song-stories from around the world - perfect for storytelling
sessions in schools, libraries and at home. Includes a CD making the
wealth of diverse sounds accessible to all.
Song-stories are as old and as universal as storytelling itself. Each of the 28 song-stories in this collection contains a simple song, which helps the narrative unfold and invites instant participation, whether at school or at home. The collection includes song-stories from all corners of the world, eg Annancy, Puss and Ratta from Jamaica, Spider the Drummer from Sierra Leone and The Raja's Secret from Gujarat. The CD contains performances of all the songs.
