Let’s Tell It Together!
Participation stories are short with lots of action. The story invites repeated phrases or actions from the group.
Kids can also act it out.
Stories are what plays are made of...
Maren can help you create dramas from the stories that you want to bring to life. In the 1980's Maren created and established Calliope: A Children's Folk Theater. Under her direction plays were written and designed, music was composed by grade school students with the help of professional artists. After she and her student assistant finished directing a show, it was performed on tour to Minneapolis Public Schools by a cast of players ages five to thirteen.
