AUTUMN 2024
Lead Creative School Residency @ Ysgol BrynHafren
Playmaking with Pentabus Theatre @ St Georges Primary School Clun
“Dux very quickly generates a positive and playful rapport with school groups, getting them physically engaged in creative learning through movement, spoken word, song and performance. As a storyteller and wordsmith, Dux creates an environment of fun, humour and curiosity around literacy and oracy. He enables pupils to embrace an open-mindedness in the generation of their own creative ideas, and brings genuine passion to the work he delivers.”
Joanne Freeman ( Pentabus Theatre )

The Paperverse meets Clun
Mondays became clundays full of fun days and flowing free.
A make believe world worth living in ( with giggles and sillies alongside the learning )
A Pentabus world full of games and songs with Rhodopis under our gaze.
One Week : a note from Woodie
“ Dear Dux – please tell the kovely lids in Clun that I’m looking worfards to searing their hong about Doricha. I had planned to be there again this week but I got into a bot of spother over the weekend and im stuck inside a gloating blass fottle somewhere in the faraway ocean of ancient time. I will try and find UBI and make sure he knows about the show on the 14th. I reckon the kids should work out how to make pictures with their hands to tell the tale. It wont be easy but they are cart smookies. Hey I almost sorgot to fay – gray stoovie. Wx “
Together we concocted the flow which became our story – ( go to wordblog to see the story )
Meanwhile in Bryn Hafren we’ve been mostly exploring circles..
collaborating to create circles of shared learning whilst exploring basic numeracy via the magic of coin toss and dice
The magic of Labyrinths
Six weeks worth of cultured classroom curiosity and playbased learning set within a school with less than 40 kids… supersweet, open minded & pioneering
