7. Into your teams:Task 1.As a team select the fairytale that most people know, if nobody knows one then use the story attached.Decide on 5 key moments in your story- the story could not happen without these.Cinderella:Cinderella lives with evil stepmother and 2 ugly sisters – they make her do all of the jobsAn invitation arrives for the ball and they all go but make Cinderella stay home – she is devastatedA Fairy Godmother appears and grants her wishes of a dress, shoes, coach and horses – with a warning to be home by midnightAt the ball the Prince falls in love with her but at midnight she runs away, leaving her shoe behind- the Prince vows to find herThe Prince arrives at their house, the 2 sisters try the shoe and it doesn’t fit. Cinderella tries and it fits – they get married!

8. Lesson objectives:To understand the key components of a fairytale storyTo create performance that highlights key moments and apply effective freezeframesSpeak for my team:You have 2 minutes as a team to explain what a freezeframe is and what an effective freezeframe looks like.Teacher will select a representative from each team to stand and explain.

9. Effective freezeframe:Like a snapshot/photographCreates a clear imageUse of levels to show status/relationshipsFace audienceStay stillNo talking/gigglingPosition that you can holdBody language and facial expressions clearly show emotion/character

10. Task 2: into teamsJob roles within your team:Director- in charge of the overall vision (steps out from the action to check it make sense and is successful) You need to take leadership of the team.Stage manager- keep checking success criteria – is the team covering it all? Give reminders, you need to be organized.Theatre manager – keep an eye on the timer – give regular warnings to team.Acting coach- can you offer suggestions of how to improve facial expressions and body language?Producer- keep team on task-you have responsibility for behaviour and ensuring that your team stays focused.

11. Task 3: You will have 8 minutes to create 5 freezeframes showing the 5 key moments of your fairytale. You may use Cinderella if you are stuck.EXTRA CHALLENGE:Find creative ways to transition from one image to the next – a spin, a slide, dancing, rolling and even walking in your character can make the transition feel professional. DO NOT STAY IN SAME STAGE POSITION FOR EVERY FREEZEFRAME!!https://www.online-stopwatch.com/timer/8minute/

24. LESSON 3DO IT NOW:What makes a successful freezeframe?What is body as props?Can you name a panto character from the homework videos?

25. Lesson objectives:To understand stock characters in a pantomimeTo apply exaggeration to performance and evaluate the comedic effectTHINK, PAIR, SHARE:What does “stock” character mean?

26. The stock character is a character that is easily recognised as it is based on a certain type. They will have clear gestures and movements that make them easy to recognise. They all have special roles within the story.Stretch question: can you name the stock characters from a panto?

27. Principal Boy A Principal Boy is a woman playing a male part. The tradition of women dressing up as men on stage started in the 18th century. Male roles played by women were known as 'breeches parts’

28. Pantomime Dame A Pantomime Dame is a comical lead of a man playing a woman. The Dame character has remained consistent for the last hundred years or so. Dames have a rude sense of humour, outrageous costumes and extrovert characters. They interact with the audience, initiate slapstick and play tricks on the other performers. The costumes they wear play a large part in the jokes and are often visual puns.

29. Pantomime VillainA pantomime villain is the bag guy of the play. The point about pantomime villains is that they are ridiculously overblown. This is done deliberately and for comic effect in an actual pantomime. They are a caricature of what a serious villain should be, the louder and larger the better.Panto villains often get the audience to “boo” and “hiss” at them and they may have a sound effect that plays before they enter the stage.

30. Pantomime Damsel in DistressA pantomime Damsel in Distress is the character that gets saved by the Hero (often the Principal boy). The Damsel can be either male or female and often the love interest of the Principal boy. As pantomimes are often fairy tales or folk stories, the Damsel in Distress is often a princess. This character often gets kidnapped and needs rescuing by the hero.

31. Young maleA comic character prone to getting muddled up.Very clumsy.The young male is usually best friends with the hero or the damsel in distress.A friendly and loveable character – often gets told off by the dame.This character often helps to move the story on by talking directly to the audience.
