Jack and the Beanstalk Pantomime at the Tamworth Assembly Rooms School Trip

This is the perfect opportunity to treat pupils to a festive trip out which they will enjoy as much as the teachers do! Pupils will get the chance to experience a British Tradition in the form of the great British pantomime which blends the magic of theatre, with Christmas magic and family entertainment.

Pupils will be able to learn lots of skills by seeing them executed within the pantomime. These skills include, but not limited to: Acting through song, comedy, improvisation, magic, parody, clown skills, and pantomime.

They will also see how a pantomime can be pulled together, with all aspects of production including set, costume, lighting, direction, and script.

Throughout the Pantomime, pupils will see examples of parody, rhyme, comedy (rule of 3), retelling of a Fairy-tale, alongside a fully formed production. They will also get the chance to experience how spoken word, dialect, and emotions can all be used to help portray a character.

Our retelling of the traditional fairy tale will also show pupils how to re-tell stories, with a twist, that will engage and entertain a contemporary audience.

Pupils will be able to see how a production is put together and witness the final result. We also offer workshops on Pantomime Design, Writing, Directing, and Acting. The lighting design will show how lights can impact the mood of a scene and also be used for comedic effect.
