css/link> The Stories Beckon In the olden time, that is here and now In a land far off, but not far away There the story dwells in the quiet night 'Till new tellers come who will brave the stage And lift the story from the page Come we will catch them you and I Upon the story we will fly From the edge of sleep to the dawn of day Let the stories live, learn what they say For in silence they sleep for tellers to come Awaiting them always, will you be one? en css/link> <p>I essentially have three types of products that I can offer:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Interactive choose-your-own-adventures</strong> - In these adventures children engage in facilitated imaginative play such as being pirates, vikings or fantasy creatures and together we create a story based on the children's actions and ideas. This activity usually moves about a fair or back yard and takes place in a specified area where children move about with me rather than on stage. Alternatively my participatory stage performances are similar but take place on a stage with children stepping up to act out sections of the story as it happens. I often do fractured fairy-tales in this form where we take a familiar tale such as the three little pigs and then change it around and make something else happen. <ul> <li style="padding: 0 0 .2em 1.5em;">When Redbeard the Pirate joins me for either the above moving show or the stage equivalent we can then include a sword fighting display since we are both members of 'The Grey Company' re-enactment group <a href="https://greycompany.com.au/ " title="https://greycompany.com.au/ ">https://greycompany.com.au/ </a></li> <li style="padding: 0 0 .2em 1.5em;">I'm always evolving and improving my shows and the Pirate adventures have recently expanded to include a more formal "Treasure Hunt" option, where the children find maps in glass bottles with rhyming clews as to the location of the next clew, culminating in the location of the chocolate Treasure.</li> <li style="padding: 0 0 .2em 1.5em;">When supplying chocolate treasure (Optional) I also include organic vegan lollipops for those children who can't have chocolate. Since I also work as a relief childcare educator (Dip Children's Services) I am very aware of allergies and dietary requirements.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Roving characters</strong> - I have many fantasy characters some of which you can see in the image below:&nbsp;<br /><a href="css/> </li></ol><p><a href="css/description> Thu, 09 Dec 2021 07:40:04 +0000 Jesse 224 at css/guid> css/link> <div style="border:solid; border-width:thin; border-color:#e0e5fb"><iframe id="fruux-cal" src="https://fruux.com/calendars/public/a3298226876/d08d5cd2-3cb5-4fde-b03b-7b861e5bb324/?calendarView=list&amp;startOfWeek=1" style="border: 0" style="border-width:0" width="100%" height="300" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" data-lang="en"></iframe></div> Fri, 11 Dec 2020 11:18:25 +0000 Jesse 223 at css/guid> css/link> <p><a href="/files/2018-06-A4-BookWeek.jpg"><img src="/files/2018-06-A4-BookWeek.jpg" alt="Bookweek Advertisement.jpg" width="100%" /></a></p> <p>Photo by Roddy Cameron <a href="http://www.perth-photography.com.au">www.perth-photography.com.au</a></p> Tue, 12 Jun 2018 10:13:52 +0000 Jesse 220 at css/guid> css/link> <p><a href="/files/2017-07-A4-BookWeek.jpg"><img src="/files/2017-07-A4-BookWeek.jpg" alt="Bookweek Advertisement.jpg" width="100%" /></a></p> <p>Photo by Roddy Cameron <a href="http://www.perth-photography.com.au">www.perth-photography.com.au</a></p> Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:41:06 +0000 Jesse 219 at css/guid> css/link> <p>Recently I've been playing with prosthetics and making myself into an orc.<br />I started with playdough since flower + water = glue, if you wet playdough a little it will stick to your face.</p> <p>The playdough recipe is on the cream of tartar tin:</p> <ul> <li>2 cups plain flower</li> <li>4 tbs Cream of Tatar</li> <li>1 cup salt</li> <li>2 cups <u>boiling</u> water</li> <li>2 tbs cooking oil</li> <li>Food colouring if desired</li> </ul> <p>Method: Mix all ingredients together and kneed till a nice consistency</p> <p>Here's a video and images of my learning journey:</p> <div> <p><img src="https://scontent-b-hkg.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/t1.0-9/10556486_10203429306385587_7378715144595703492_n.jpg" width="240" Height="385" />&nbsp;<img src="https://scontent-a-hkg.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10407860_10203429308905650_4201249698292518558_n.jpg?oh=73ea1a1999c1048dc6681df5cb228281&amp;oe=543F1856" width="240" Height="385" /></p> <p><iframe width="480" height="270" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/sieFV7PaMMc?list=PLU240G6YcIUdNKJDeanBdw1Gk-ZfMLf0V" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> </div><p><a href="css/description> Costume Makeup Prosthetics Sun, 27 Jul 2014 08:30:01 +0000 Jesse 205 at css/guid> css/link> <h1><strong>Perth Fringe Shows</strong></h1> <p><img src="/files/Suprise-Website.jpg" style="margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;" align="left" width="25%" /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Get Stumped: The Ancient Modern Art of Tripme.</strong></span></p> <p><em>Jesse The Wind Wandeer brings the art which enabled him to survive a room full of children aged 5 to 15 to the adult audience.

We created 15 new space adventure stories together with plotlines ranging from avoiding war with the Martians, to ancidentally stealing Captain Boot's space ship, to figuring out how to keep the Incredible Hulk under control in zero G, to debating wheather or not to eat the Neptunian Space Pig, and hopefully the students will have many more.</p> <p><a href="css/description> Bookweek Children South West Sat, 07 Sep 2013 05:06:50 +0000 Jesse 196 at css/guid>
