The Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama, based at The University of Manchester, is delighted to welcome back critically acclaimed performance poet John Hegley.
His interactive poetic genius and silliness is guaranteed to enchant children and teachers alike.
John Hegley is widely known as one of the country's most innovative comic poets with several best-selling volumes of poetry to his name. For many years John Hegley has been visiting schools and performing to school children in theatres. He teaches them to think about poetry and to do things they perhaps wouldn't normally do.
This 60 minute Interactive Performance is appropriate to Key Stage 2 (7-11 years)
Tickets are priced at £4 per child. 1 free adult ticket for every 10 paying pupils
Places are limited. To book call 0161 275 8950 or for further information email jill.stevenson@manchester.ac.uk
"In all honesty very rarely has poetry brought such smiles to the faces of the children I have taught. Hegley made them laugh, smile and positively embrace poetry."
Teacher
"The children were really enthused with John Hegley."
Teacher
“John Hegley’s children’s show ‘Animal Alphaboat’ was one of the ten best kids' shows at the Edinburgh Festival.”
