I'm sorry that I'm not able to be in class today. Use today as a final practice session for your upcoming summative on movement!
Rewatch this video: How are the mimes able to create believable objects? What are some of the spaces you see the characters interacting in? What objects are used?
Facial Expressions Work:
Facial expressions are one of the most important elements when acting. In pantomime you must over exaggerate these facial expressions.
Selfies--If you have cell phones, they may use these. Make sure at least each pair has one cell phone. For this exercise, call out an emotion and ask the students to create BIG facial expressions and capture it in a selfie.
Emotions:
- Happy
- Sad
- Anger
- Nervousness
- Scared
- Disgusted
- Jealous
- Excited
Ask the partners to look back at the selfies and see what they had in common. Look specifically at the different features on the face for each emotion. Where are the eyes? The lips? The eyebrows? Create a large chart that explains.
10 minutes Rehearsal: Each pair should create a short scene in which the emotion changes drastically.
Perform for the group, giving feedback about what worked and constructive criticism.
Door Practice:
Watch the videos and then practice each of the different doors.
Door Mime 1
Door Mime 2
Door Mime 3
Independent Practice: In teams of 2, create a door different from the ones you practiced here. Together show the door and struggle with opening it. Finally, find a creative way to open it up.
Perform and give feedback.
Project Explanation: Hand out and read performance explanation! Questions will be answered next class!
