Why Study Pantomime? It is the first phase of acting Body Voice Mind The language of action is universal ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!

History of Pantomime Silent movies Charlie Chaplin 1889 – 1977

Marcel Marceau Born 1923, died 2007 “the language of the heart”

Principles of Pantomime Chest is the key Positive emotions = high, expanded, free, broad, animated gestures Negative emotions = tense, contracted, restricted gestures Avoid covering your face while expressing emotion Direct your story to your audience All movement should be clearly motivated Use posture/movements expected of your character Concentrate! Practice!

Principles of Pantomime Creating an object in pantomime Visualize the object. See it in your mind. Approach the object. Move toward it. Take the object. Make contact with it. Tell the audience its location, size, shape, weight. Release the object. Let go.

DOs and DON’Ts DO DON’T DO exaggerate facial expression DO show the shape, size, weight of objects DO focus fully on the task DO show the audience who you are, where you are and what is happening DO plan a beginning, middle and end DO include conflict or a problem TAKE YOUR TIME!!!! DON’T DON’T mouth words DON’T make any noise DON’T use props DON’T include violence, weapons, etc.

Don’t forget! Don’t mouth words Don’t make any noise Don’t use props Don’t include violence, weapons, etc. TAKE YOUR TIME! Focus! Exaggerate your facial expressions/emotions Exaggerate your gestures/body movements Face the audience! Have a beginning/middle/end Creating an object in pantomime: Visualize, Approach, Take, Tell, Release

Gesture Practice Relief (“Phew!”) Impatience (“You’re late!”) Calling someone over (“Come here!”) “No, thank you.” Excitement (“I can’t wait!”) Begging (“Pretty please?!?”) Approval (“That’s great!”)

Object Practice Talk on the phone Open a can of soda Type on the computer Pick up a pencil Pick up a bowling ball

Individual Pantomimes Keep it Simple! Examples: Walk along the street and get bubble gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe. Try to open your locker. It is jammed. Wash your face and get soap in your eyes. Look for a towel. Put on a pair of shoes that are too tight. You can’t find the right key to open the lock on the door. Drink a large glass of water and then discover you have swallowed a bug.
