My practise centres on the removal of pressure to ''summon ideas” and instead to celebrate how we are all already full of everything we need.

With an awareness of the group, and starting with the smallest present detail, we share fragments and pieces to create characters, settings, relationships, problems and motivations to build an active and immersive story world that becomes our playground for whatever stories we choose to tell.

Particpants make simple choices together and see what those choice allow. Each decision opens up the next possibility, and the work grows through shared ownership.

Sessions are loose and responsive to the specific group and context. They often involve drawing, talking, writing and/or role play as ideas take shape, with sharing always optional. Participation can look like speaking, listening, watching or adding small details that quietly shape the whole.

Where useful, the work can be steered towards forms such as descriptive writing, character voice or atmosphere, with curriculum links and outcomes growing out of the process rather than driving it.

Sessions work well as one offs, and also as part of longer recurring visit projects to generate more substantial work. e.g. zines, collected writing, performance sharings

Example mainstream school day schedule:

• Morning assembly to whole year group

• Lesson long sessions with classes throughout the day

Example PRU/AP setting day schedule:

• Tailored lesson-long lessons with different groups
