Review  of my performance on the  Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2009
“Using only the words of folktales and symbolic gestures (Roger) opens windows    on to Asian jungles, Malaysian villages and lands where man and animal interact and the path to wisdom is forged .. intimate in delivery, valuing its audience highly,
this is memorable theatre
with an internationally
relevant message.”
Three Weeks review

I love to perform and storytelling gives me an opportunity to relate directly with my audience. Choosing the right (ie age-appropriate) story and a way of telling it so as to hook each particular audience is a skill I’ve been honing since I started telling in 1998.

With almost 50 performances in schools to date this year, I have entertained thousands of primary and secondary students. While smaller audiences are optimum (and I package my fees to encourage smaller audiencesI) I have shown time and again that I can engage very large audiences, thanks to my energetic performance style and a strong sense of comedy.

Beside schools I also perform for community centres - Siglap South has been promoting storytelling as a way to develop community bonding since last year - and organisations such as the National Library (tour details)
