Plan a formal pantomine that you outline and practice in advance. If you are working alone, it should be one minute long or longer. If you are working with a partner, it should be two minutes long. Add one minute for each additional person.
Your pantomime should tell a simple story. It can be a re-make of a movie scene or an event in history. Give a brief introduction before you present it. Stay in character--no giggling, etc. Be deliberate and exaggerated in your actions. Make the pantomime as interesting, action-packed, and creative as possible.
You may use music in the background, but it isn't necessary.
Complete the outline below before you present your pantomime. (One outline per group.)
