"Having seen Nikky hold the attention of a room full of enthralled children and grown-ups; seeing them mesmerised, as she tells her beautifully simple yet amazingly clever stories and poems you realise that you are in the presence of a storytelling virtuoso."

- Paula Hubbard, Publishing Director, Springboard Stories.

Storytelling for:

Schools - Festivals & events - Libraries & galleries - Other productions

If you are an orchestra, production company or other commissioner I can offer you . . .

Stories; Poems; Scripts or Libretti to fit in with your product or programme aimed at children and families.

Presentation of concerts and performances for Family or School audiences - including, “A Young Puppet’s Guide to the Orchestra” and “Carnival of the Animals”. Both rapturously received at sell-out family concerts at Birmingham Symphony Hall.

Creative Input at the beginning of a project - whether you’re at the devising stage, or a little bit further down the line and would like an additional contribution to help pull the whole thing together. For example: "Clock onto Safety" was a specially commissioned show with the CBSO, using music to teach young children how to cross the road safely. It won an Arts and Business Corporate Responsibility Award!

Re-interpretation of existing content - perhaps to adapt for a new audience; to modernise for the youngsters of today; or just to bring a fresh angle.

Ideas for your supporting material . . . resource packs; foyer activities; programmes; video content; social media for example.

Performance coaching sessions for your company with top tips for reaching young audiences effectively - so that they and you get the most possible enjoyment and impact out of every event.

All I need is a clear, clean brief into which I can fit my GIGANTIC, BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING Storytelling Brain, and a (metaphorical) parking space close enough for me to unload easily .... that’s it!
