Buzzing!

Be amazed ...
     Be amused ...
           Be afraid ...
               It’s Buzzing!

Buzzing! is a fun multimedia celebration of garden creepy crawlies, created and performed by me, Anneliese Emmans Dean. Buzzing! has been recognised by the Royal Entomological Society for its educational value.

Each of my poems introduces you to one of the extraordinary tiny creatures that live in our gardens. I perform the poems to a backdrop of projected photos, interspersed with musical interludes. Choose between recorded music, or music played live by internationally acclaimed viola player John Rayson, who has composed pieces specially for Buzzing!

Buzzing! entertains all ages
  - in schools
  - in theatres
  - in community and environment centres
  - at conferences
  - at festivals
  - at parties ...
 In other words, anywhere there’s electricity to plug in the projector!

The whole show lasts an hour - but it can be tailored in length to suit your requirements. I can also provide a package that includes a follow-up poetry writing workshop or photography workshop. Or we can follow it with a wildlife walk, to see what minibeasts we can find where we are.

And you can take home a Buzzing! CD, which contains over 60 Buzzing! poems. It comes with a 16-page colour booklet, printed in York on recycled paper, with over 80 close-up photos of garden minibeasts. If you can’t wait for a performance, order yours now!
