Storyman Tales

3. *Once upon a Time with Medieval Max

Medieval Max  presents two programs for younger and older kids. Two very different classic stories . 
For the younger audiences (ages 6 to 12)  
Max performs  Edmund Leamy’s Irish Fairy Tale “Princess Finola and the Dwarf”    
For older kids (12-up)
Max presents the ancient Northern saga “Sigurd the Dragon Slayer” which comes from Volsung Saga.
This is a story that JRR Tolkien drew heavily from in the writing of the Lord of the Rings.    
In both programs Max involves his audience in the telling of these stories through the use of drums and hand percussion instruments. The 3 small Drums serve as the heart beat of these stories and the hand percussion shakers to emphasize specific characters in these story.  
The students will be assigned different characters from the story and when mentioned they will shake their shakers.  
After completing the stories Max follows with a short discussion about the stories themes with his audience.    
There is also a display used with the story that is symbolic of the magical elements of the stories
(a foam sword and Shield)    
Both programs are performed in medieval costume.

Finola themes are based around love, sacrifice, heroism and elements of magic.    
Sigurd comes from a Northern Saga called ‘The Volsung Saga’.  
The themes and elements  in this story are love , sacrifice, a magic ring, a broken sword, a curse , betrayal,  greed and how greed destroys you.      
Each of these programs  will last 35 to 40 min.
