Anna O’B
I love to tell a good hearty story with plenty of oomph!
I often incorporate song into my stories, especially folk songs from the British Isles. My mum and dad were real folkies and many of the songs they sang have woven their way, almost subconsciously, into my repertoire.
I love site specific work that involves researching the history of a place, a particular work of art or a historical character and translating the history and myth into an educational entertainment for a family audience.
