Sixth grade drama students recently had the terrific experience of presenting their pantomimed fairy tale scenes! Our pantomime unit began a few weeks ago, when sixth graders learned the historical context of pantomime and how it has evolved as an art form. Pantomime is, simply, acting without the voice. Using only their bodies and facial expressions, students created moments from popular children’s stories and presented them to a lively audience of kindergarteners, who watched intently and guessed which fairy tale was being acted out. Students reflected on the process of pantomiming these scenes as well as discussing how it felt to perform for young audience members.
