We planned the workshop for KS2 where we could bring the book into the schools, teach children how to create and bring a character to life, read and speak dialogue and match it with their body language too. I love Veera and Suku and their irreverent sense of humour and my readers always have told me they want to have similar adventures. The story makes speaking, reading, talking and of course interpreting of written language so much fun. One thing led to another, we talked, we discussed, we dreamt and then we got another one of our masterclass friends Greg McCormick involved too.Ī Dollop of Dramawas born for real – A workshop to bring to life the characters and stories in the book A Dollop of Ghee and a Pot of Wisdom (Walker Books, UK). And Jan called me Born to be a Clown! Really? Me? Our easy collaboration came to life when we had to mimic a scene without talking and we had a hilarious time doing it. Alice and I hit it off rightaway and though we told markedly different stories, we liked each others style. I met Alice in a masterclass with storyteller extraordinaire Jan Blake.
