Be amazed ...
Be amused ...

It’s Buzzing!

“Anneliese Emmans Dean has discovered the poetry in insects and knows a lot about them as well.
She has the Buzz!” Quentin Blake

Buzzing! is a fun multimedia celebration of garden creepy crawlies, created and performed by me, Anneliese Emmans Dean.
Buzzing! has been recognised for its educational value for children and adults alike by the Royal Entomological Society. And for its entertainment value by venues, festivals and audiences up and down England who have hosted performances. Find out more

 Listen to a poem! (‘Betty’)
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!
The show includes a world-first insect discovery I made in my garden in York, and tells you how you can make one too!
Buzzing! entertains all ages
- in schools
- in theatres
- at festivals (literary or science-oriented)
- in community and environment centres
- at parties ...
In other words, anywhere there’s electricity to plug in the projector!
Our Buzzing! shows are evolving all the time, and there are many options in terms of length, themes, audience age, venue type, and follow-up activities. Find out more here!
‘It was funny, humorous, amusing and she never let us be bored’
