Group
creation was the theme for the summer. Together we thought
of characters, settings and other story components. The
ideas were clearly divided into four genres, science fiction,
fairy tale/comedy, parallel worlds, and friendship (with
a magic twist).
In four groups, we co-created the stories week by week,
using artwork to develop visualisation of the characters
and landscapes, and to illustrate the stories. At the beginning,
and each week as the stories took shape, I introduced some
new elements as a challenge to the writers, and wrote parts
of the stories as well using the freshly generated ideas.
Next we read and acted the stories for each other, and began
to develop the work for performance. An ongoing ‘pig’
theme had emerged over the last year, and once again, pigs
crept onto the pages and the stage!:

Welcome to our Summer Term Serials!
We started with brainstorming: there were tons of ideas,
so I wrote the beginnings of four different stories and
we wrote and illustrated these over a number of sessions.
Next, we tried some storytelling using these stories, and
with a script by Alfie, we put some of the material together
to make a show.
