your eyes. Great fun Below is a list of themed

welcome. Where ever there are educational needs, lively, imaginative
performance poetry makes a difference. Talk to Adrian. Mix and match Many schools prefer two
different sessions in a day. IE Vikings with one group in the morning and
Ancient Egypt in the afternoon with another. Performance Skills Boston Spa Comprehensive
recently invited Adrian, through CAPE UK to encourage performance skills and
public speaking. Following a performance each session’s group worked using
Adrian’s poems as models and delivered a performance for the whole year. From
rap to medieval markets. Several of Adrian’s poems were drawn from their
project work, utilising their writings. Many Schools and festivals
(And Superstores!) ask Adrian to bring along a relevant selection of poetry
adventures. Also: Bookworld - Pirates and
Privateers -
Words & Rhythm (with African percussion) And of course:
