Gillett Johnny

Theatre director, story practitioner, UK

Johnny Gillett (aka The Journey Man) has worked in education establishments across the world for 30 year. This began a mime artist, but he soon trained as Speech & Drama teacher with the New Era Academy in London, later following this with studies in Youth Work at Chester University (UK). He then combined this learning with his experience and knowledge of folk tales from his years of international work to develop a methodology known as Story Practice. Initially created to assist dyslexic children in creative writing, this interactive and kinaesthetic approach to deconstructing stories is now used in community projects, youth centres and in corporate companies. Currently, he is developing programmes with schools in China and with Chinese students in Singapore to increase their confidence in English through storytelling and drama.
