Basic Pantomime MovementsOur daily communication is mostly
nonverbal
We use facial expressions, gestures, and body language constantly
Actors want to rely on voices though while onstage; in pantomime, they need to rely on gestures and expressions

Pantomimes Must…
Stay Simple
Tell a Story
Use Exaggeration and Consistency
![Page 9: Agenda Grab your drama llamas and a pencil and take your seats. 1. LOW 2. Notes 3. Practice.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051010/5a4d1b877f8b9ab0599bd4d2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Stay Simple
Must be simple if the audience is to understand
A well-executed pantomime is better than
a complicated plot
![Page 10: Agenda Grab your drama llamas and a pencil and take your seats. 1. LOW 2. Notes 3. Practice.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051010/5a4d1b877f8b9ab0599bd4d2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2. Tell A Story
Initial Situation (beginning)
Complications and problems arising
from that situation (middle)
A solution to those problems (end)
Good pantomime stories have a
clear beginning, middle, and end

3. Use Exaggeration and Consistency
Exaggeration
• To magnify
• Larger than life
Consistency
• Stick to the same thing each time
• Return to the same situation

![Page 19: Agenda Grab your drama llamas and a pencil and take your seats. 1. LOW 2. Notes 3. Practice.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051010/5a4d1b877f8b9ab0599bd4d2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Goals of Pantomime
1. Make what you are doing clear to the audience.
2. Enable the audience to identify each object you use.
3. Strive for exactness and detail.

Individual PracticeObjective: Individually, perform an action as
a thirty-second story. Don’t just perform the action itself, but create a story. You must set up each activity. Sticks will choose order. You will come up to the desk to receive your activity.
Hint: Don’t just swing a golf club for “playing golf”, but take the golf clubs out of the cart, set them on the ground, sort through them until you find the one you want, take it out, set up your tee, swing, watch, mark your score, and then clean up.
