Oh no it isn’t… oh YES IT IS!
Are you ready to step into the magical, muddled and magnificent world of Panto?
Who are the Goodies and who are the Baddies?
Why does everyone shout at the villain?
And what on earth do the audience have to do with it all?
Come to our half term drama day and find out for yourselves, exploring classic pantomime characters, over-the-top comedy and plenty of audience participation that will have everyone joining in!
Children aged 6–10 are invited to join us for a fun-filled day of drama where they will learn all about the wonderful world of pantomime. From heroes and villains to comic sidekicks, children will discover how panto characters move, speak and interact, before creating their own brand-new panto scenes by the end of the day.
Over the day children will be able to:
- Learn about traditional pantomime character types – Goodies, Baddies and more!
- Create and perform their own panto scenes with comedy and audience interaction.
- Play drama games while developing theatre and performance skills.
- Make theatre using props, costume, music and their imaginations.
- Improve acting skills in a fully-supported, inclusive environment.
- Build confidence, have fun and make new friends.
