In drama we are learning how to use body language and facial expressions to perform. This week we learned how to perform through mime. We watched some mime acts and noticed that when we do mime we don’t use our voices. We have to make everything quite “over the top” to make the story clear and entertaining to watch.

Our class topic is The Owl who is Afraid of the Dark. Chapter 3 in the book is titled Dark is Fun. In drama we worked in teams to mime a ,Dark is Fun’ scene. The rest of the class had to guess what we were miming. The scenes were: going trick or treating 🎃, going camping 🏕, sneaking out of bed for a midnight feast 🛌 and playing hide and seek 🙈.

The scenes were SO good! Everybody managed to perform without talking and did ‘big’ actions to exaggerate the performance. I can’t wait for next weeks lesson already! 🎭🗯🃏
