About Jay Ryan

My work with and for children was not a conscious decision.  I didn’t set out to create work for children but once I did I was hooked. It is a two-way process, children become part of the show.

I love performing for children. Years ago, I discovered the magic of children watching and responding to a performance.  They are honest in their attention and will openly accept you or ignore you.

Also, it is important to say that I have a strong memory of being a child. I can access this memory and the magic of hearing a story.

I also have a love of play, of imagining magic and wonder. When I tell such stories to children I feel like there is a two-way connection between myself and the audience.

Jay offers a Drama and Puppet making workshops for primary school children. Students are led through the puppetry process from the making and manipulation of hand puppets to the story-telling and drama of the puppet show. These enjoyable workshops aid the development of social skills, confidence building, creative thinking and free expression. The workshop lasts approximately two hours and all materials are provided.
