How to make a fool of yourself. (For Juniors aged 8 – 12) An afternoon of Slapstick and Clowning
What's one of the things that makes pantomime so funny? The physical comedy!
Learn how to fall on your bum, trip other people up, trip yourself up, get knocked out and how to generally make a fool of yourself. And if you're lucky you might even learn how to make people laugh!
You don't need to prepare anything, but please bring a couple of items of clothing you really hate wearing, and be ready to be silly in them!
You'll be taught by actor Philip Kingscott, who has been a professional for over ten years.

We will have one day to write, rehearse and stage our very own pantomime, before performing to an audience that night.
Please prepare your own little talent show performance, it could be a song, a dance or even some jokes, to be included in the snake charming scene to be performed for his royal highness Sultan Shish Kebab.
