Pantomime Practice

For this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of pantomime techniques to a recorded performance. You will choose a prompt from a list and act out the prompt using facial expressions, movement, and body gestures only.

Remember that pantomime does not use speech/dialogue, so all of your acting must be done without speaking. You will not need props or costumes for your Pantomime Practice recording - you will only need yourselves to act out your chosen prompt.

Your recording should be a minimum of 10 seconds long and must accurately represent the given prompt. Lights, Camera, ...ACTION!

5. Attending a pep rally
