Pantomime Conventions, getting the audience involved

Run time: 55 minutes

Suitable: KS2 to KS3

Cost per session: £60 + VAT

Capacity: 30

This lively, interactive workshop explores how pantomime performers engage their audiences through specific techniques of interaction and participation. Focusing on skill-building, students will learn how to effectively involve audiences, develop their improvisational skills, and understand the conventions of pantomime that make performances engaging and fun. We will look at breaking the fourth wall, call and response, physical engagement and the all-important audience cue improvisation. All these skills will be applied practically, with time for a performance at the end
