PERFORMANCE & WORKSHOP PACKAGES

" We knew as soon as we met Terrie that the event would be a success. Her creative input, careful planning and excellent delivery proved us right. Terrie and her team did a fantastic job and we are looking forward to working with her again"

Nick Coates, Winchester Discovery Centre

Be it "Myth Smith", word-weaving, tale-spinning, call it what you like, storytelling is an amazing tool from the classroom to the workplace, enhancing imagination and creative thinking, listening skills and oral communication. Whether for entertainment, education, therapy or in the work place, storytelling and theatre can open up a world of imagination, enjoyment and self learning to everyone.

While much of the work I produce is bespoke for particular events and venues*, I have also created set shows which can be taken almost anywhere, to any audience. For more information on prices, packages or bespoke project please contact Red Phoenix.

* Shows are suitable for performance in hotels, community centres, schools, village halls, pubs, clubs, private parties and visitor attraction sites. All performances and workshops are available with supporting supplements.)

INTERACTIVE PERFORMANCES

These performances require the audience taking on parts of the performance, and often need their physical input in order to complete the story. These are perfect for team building and for that occasion when a little something different is needed.
