Assemblies & Performances

The performances list below is ALLLLMOOST fully actually ready with pretty graphics.

Right now, you can still scroll the list and descriptions- just without the finished visuals. Coming soon!

Hi there!

This is a list of performances & assemblies that I have developed to meet commonly requested themes. 

Each of these performances feature energetic folktales from around the world and are highly interactive with call-and-response, rhythm and rhyme, and audience participation. I work with folktales that empower both literacy and social emotional skills while engaging audiences with an active experience of creative thinking and curriculum tie-ins.

Each performance lasts 45-60 minutes depending on your needs, and you can bundle the performances with class visits or professional learning.

Looking for an assembly or performance that you don't see here?

Drop me a message, and I can work with you to create a custom assembly or performance!
