Japanese Kamishibai Theatre, thrived in the 1950’s with over 3000 sweet salesmen practising the art of Picture card storytelling, from the back of a two wheel bike!
Alas with the arrival of television and fast foods, Kamishibai died.
Till now, the Hatton gallery in Newcastle commissioned me to make and perform with a Kamishibai Theatre to advertise their Exhibition “Through Eastern Eyes”. I wrote the first story and drew the picture cards for my story, called “Two Brothers” about how Kamishibai came to be. It was performed for the first time at the Hatton Gallery, to great acclaim.
I have acquired and written further stories, and have performed on the streets of Newcastle and and Northampton and for Her Majesty the Queen at Scunthorpe Try my delights it will leave a sweet taste in the mouth, I Guarantee !!!
Also available in multimedia workshop format for schools.
