NOT JUST AT BEDTIME is a comprehensive and entertaining introduction to the art of storytelling by international award-winning storyteller, ROGER JENKINS.

Since so much of the essence of storytelling is in your voice and in the non-verbal elements of communication (your facial expressions, gestures)  you'll find a video is far more effective than a book when iy comes to demonstrating the art of making a story come alive. With his trademark humour and warm, conversational style, Roger not only shares 16 stories along the way (in a wide variety of styles and for different purposes) but offers you lots of tips, techniques and strategies to help you make storytelling more effective and engaging. With a total run time of 2hr 17 minutes, NOT JUST AT BEDTIME is an excellent introduction for parents and teachers  who want to feel more confident when the cry goes up: Tell us a story! 

Note   Your Not Just At Bedtime pass ($20) gives you unlimited views and access to ALL THE VIDEOS ON THIS PAGE. Your pass is valid until 31st December 2021.
