  1. Basic Qualities of Pantomime • Consistency: Objects must remain consistent in size & location (Set the stage mentally.)

  2. Accuracy: Lips must form actual words (not gibberish)

  3. Clarity: Keep the audience in mind. Movements and facial expressions must be seen by all.

  4. Focus: Concentrate on doing one movement at a time.

  5. Mood Appropriate: facial expressions must convey the appropriate emotion (visualize yourself as the character)

  6. Exaggeration: • Resistance: the resistance of person against object must be exaggerated and made sharper and bigger than real life • Expressions & Gestures: gestures must be made bigger than real life.

  7. Pantomime Story Lines • Keep it simple. Don’t overcomplicate the plot. • Tell a story. Follow a traditional plot line (with a beginning, middle, and end). • Be imaginative! Be creative and silly—have fun.
