Testimonials


“For the Norwich Dragon Festival, in February 2011, Dragon Hall had a fantastic experience working with Bel, Lucy and Liam of The Greenword Tree on two family fun packed days of theatre, storytelling, magic potion-making and crafts. Their professionalism, drive and spirit to give children and their families a magical creative experience was truly inspirational and we look forward very much to working with them on future projects.”

 - Sarah Power, Volunteer and Learning Manager, Dragon Hall

 

'Bel's a very good teacher, very inspirational. it's a great class and very entertaining.'

- Madeleine Young

 

'If you believe that children can, and should, be inspired by word magic, try one of the Greenword Tree workshops. They are fantastic events, and will encourage children to express themselves freely and creatively while having fun.


Norfolk County Council Library Service is pleased to be associated with The Greenword Tree. Children attending the Sunday creative writing workshop Wordwind, at the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, The Forum, Norwich, have been inspired for three years by Bel and her colleagues.  They have written stories plays, pantomimes, poetry and much more, and there is always a high level of engagement, enjoyment and excitement.'



SCREENWRITING...

I have known and worked with Bel for a number of years now in my capacity as Education Manager at Cinema City. In this time we have worked together on a number of filmmaking projects and I am also aware of the work she has done with partner organisations. Throughout this time I have found Bel to be an extremely committed, reliable and resourceful person.

 

Bel has shown exceptional qualities in communicating and motivating the children she has worked with. Most recently she co-led an ambitious 2-day holiday workshop for children between the ages 7-12 (supported by the Co-operative Society). The children enjoyed the days immensely, which was confirmed by the excellent feedback.

 

Bel has shown outstanding dedication, flexibility and commitment to her work with us. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
