Story fun for everyone with Macastory! Below you will find information about us and some example of shows we perform... great for large numbers and fun, fun, FUN!!!
Fergus McNicol and Ronnie Fairweather are the duo ‘Macastory’ who perform a mixture of stories ,poems and songs on a bewildering array of subjects. Macastory provide an interactive experience of storytelling, raps, songs and larger than life characters to engage and excite pupils (and adults!) of all ages. We enthuse and inspired young learners through the wonder of live storytelling developing a love of stories and in turn language. Our storytelling sessions go further than that though. They are a great springboard into delivering the four capacities of a Curriculum For Excellence.
We provide follow up cross-curricular ideas and workshops to take the enjoyment, enthusiasm and energy from the storytelling back into the classroom to help teachers do just that.
The Storytelling is presented in a entertaining and theatrical style, and can address issues such as Citizenship, Bullying , Sectarianism, Health and the Environment . Macastory cover subjects in history ranging from the the Vikings to the Greeks, Scots and beyond. As well visiting schools and libraries all over Scotland Macastory have perfomed many times at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, Aberdeen Storytelling Festival,The East Renfrewshire Festival and Traquair Fair.
Macastory have also worked with The National Museum of Scotland,The National Library of Scotland ,Scottish Ballet ,The Scottish Portrait Gallery and Edinburgh World Heritage. Audiences numbering up to 800+ can easily be catered in a single school day by dividing the roll into groups ie nursery,p1-3s 4-5s and 6-7s.
Ron Fairweather & Fergus McNicol are registered storytellers with the Scottish Storytelling Centre and Disclosure Scotland.
