The Bigfooter ‘is’ the performance. It’s not just what they do in terms of the education they provide, but it’s the way in which they do it which makes them stand out from the crowd. Bigfooters know how to play. What would normally be a routine exercise becomes an engaging and memorable learning experience, captivating their class and involving them completely in the creative learning process - Lauren Senatore, HR Manager.
