blackrose international storytelling
Absolutely fabulous! Being a school with a focus on internationalism, we loved that Morgan’s stories came from a range of cultures. The show was dynamic and interesting. Morgan quickly had the children involved, using music and dramatic skills to enhance the storytelling. We were very impressed with the ease with which Morgan moves from Primary to Secondary performances, setting a different tone and earning the trust of the older audience, so they too felt empowered to participate. We can’t wait to welcome Morgan back next year. Susan Foster
