Greek Myths! Heroes and Monsters

I've been a professional storyteller for five years, and have told Greek myths in schools every year in that time. Like many children, I was captivated by Greek myths from an early age, and I've continued studying and considering them throughout my life, finding connections through research into the myths, history and archaeology of the wider world. I've studied history to Masters level and completed a professional course from the Ashmolean Museum in Telling for Heritage. I have designed and delivered workshops for schools since 2015, as well as creating original performances for children and grownups at festivals, community events and self-organised gigs. Past bookings and participants have said: "Jon came to Hangleton Primary during our Book week and completely entranced the children with oral storytelling of universal themes of bravery, journey and love." - Teacher “The session was spot-on. The children were entranced (we’ve never known them so quiet!). They also remembered many of the facts you had given them and are now raring to find out more.” - Teacher, Elm Grove Primary
