Our main auditorium is an architectural masterpiece designed by Frank Matcham that has inspired generations of performers. The common thread throughout the many years has always been our relationship with our audience - a relationship that we treasure. Whether you visit the Everyman to see ballet, opera, drama, dance, comedy, music events or our traditional family pantomime. Or if you take part in one of our many community projects, education workshops or youth theatre productions. Or if you visit us to dine or drink in our café, or wine bar. Or if you are simply here to visit our website and book your tickets. Whatever the reason we would like to warmly welcome you and hope you return many times. The Everyman Theatre’s Pantomime has become an annual tradition with over 40,000 people seeing last year’s production of Cinderella. The Everyman Theatre welcomes many touring companies throughout the year, providing a diverse range of shows and events, as well as producing an in-house production each year. Our recent in-house productions have included Beatrix Potter and the Tailor of Gloucester, Will Harvey’s War, Cider with Rosie and Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie. 2 William Elliott as Baroness Hardup in Cinderella (2015) Introduction For many young people, Pantomime is the first experience of Live Theatre, and can be very different from anything they have experienced before. An enthralling first theatre experience can leave a lasting impression, and create a lifelong love of theatre. This Education Pack is designed to help introduce young people to the stories, ideas and traditions that they can expect from a visit to the pantomime. All of the ideas and activities are constructed to be used before, after or independently from a visit to see the show, and can be used either individually or as a whole. The pack contains various engaging activities including creative writing, drama exercises, group work and games centred on this year’s pantomime – Jack and the Beanstalk. I hope that this pack is useful to you, and helps your students immerse themselves in the weird and wonderful world of Pantomime. We would be delighted to hear any feedback on this Education Pack, or on this year’s production, so please feel free to get in touch with me at [email protected]. Best wishes, Joe Hackett Marketing and Participation Officer 3 4 What is Pantomime? Pantomime is a unique British tradition commonly found in theatres up and down the UK throughout the winter period. In fact, Pantomime has become a British institution but its origins are from beyond British shores. The pantomime we see today can be distinguished by its dramatisation of a classic fairytale told through the use of eccentric characters and absurd situations. It’s a place where men dress as women and women dress as men, where good triumphs over evil and the audience are as much a part of the action as the pantomime cow, the beanstalk or the magic means. The stories are told with a gigantic emotional heart through the use of acting, song, dance and intriguing illusions and magic. Where do the stories come from? Most well known pantomimes are based on Fairytales, well-known versions of which are often influenced by Charles Perrault’s collection of Traditional Fairytales published in 1697. Perrault didn’t make up the stories, but he did give them the names that we know and love today. The Everyman Theatre produces a canon of the five most popular stories: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Dick Whittington and Aladdin. Can you think of any other stories which could be turned into Pantomimes? Sleeping Beauty Cinderella Jack and the Beanstalk Sleeping Beauty was a popular melodrama when it began, but morphed into a traditional panto in 1822. Possibly the trickiest story to tell – due to the 100 year gap in the story between the Princess’ birthday where she pricks her finger and the Prince coming to save her. First performed in 1804, Cinderella is the most popular panto story. The main rags to riches story has been told for hundreds of years. The first version is believed to come from China, more than 1,100 years ago. In an Egyptian nd version from the 2 Century AD an eagle takes the sandal of Rhodope while she is bathing. The eagle takes the sandal to the Pharoah, who vows to marry whomever fits the sandal. He searches all of Egypt until he finds Rhodope. Perrault’s story gives the name Cinderella, and introduces the pumpkin, glass slippers and the Fairy Godmother. The Brothers Grimm did a gruesome take on the story where the Ugly Sisters are so desperate to marry the Prince that they cut off bits of their feet to fit into the shoe! Jack and the Beanstalk was first performed as a pantomime at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 1819. A version of the play from 1859 is almost unrecognisable to the story we know today, except for the moment that Jack grows a beanstalk up to the sky. Jack was a hero of many English folk stories, including Jack Sprat, Little Jack Horner, Jack the Giant Killer and Jack Frost. Dick Whittington A particular favourite because of its local background, Dick Whittington is particularly fascinating because it is based on real characters. Richard Whittington was born in 1358 in Gloucestershire. He left home for London at 14 where he was trained by John Fitzwarryn. In 1382, Dick married Alice Fitzwarryn (and they actually had a cook named Sarah – perhaps the inspiration for the Dame in Dick Whittington). In 1397, following the death of the Mayor, Richard II appointed Dick to complete the Mayor’s tenure. He was a very popular mayor and was re-elected in 1398, 1406 and 1419. 5 Aladdin Aladdin was first performed on Boxing Day in 1788 and is the second most performed panto. It comes from a collection of stories called The Arabian Nights – which is full of adventure and memorable things like a genie, flying carpets, an evil magician and a cave full of treasure. The story originated in Syrian folklore, but was made th popular in 18 Century Europe by French writer Antoine Galland. A Brief History of Pantomime Charles Perrault was regarded in his lifetime as one of the cleverest men in France. He spent a lot of time writing very highly respected books on history and philosophy, and was very well respected. Despite his other works, it is almost certain that he would not be know to the general public if he had not written a small book of eight fairy tales in 1697 called Stories or Tales from Times Past, with Morals, with the added title, Tales of Mother Goose. Charles Perrault did not publish the book in question under his own name, but under the name of his son, Pierre – perhaps he thought the book was too childish to be associated with himself! Perrault did not make up the stories, they were traditional folktales, but he chose his stories well, and gave them the titles they have today. Did you know that in the little book were the stories of Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb and Cinderella? They are all popular pantomimes to this day! Where the story of Cinderella originated is unknown but the earliest datable version of the Cinderella story occurs in a Chinese book written about 850-860 AD. The earliest European version of tale was published in Italy in 1634. The story has had many variations over the centuries - some very early editions have one of the Ugly Sisters hacking her toes of with a crude, blunt instrument in an attempt to make the glass slipper fit her foot. More than 700 variations of the Cinderella tale have been collected from around the world, with it appearing in almost every language. What other information can you find out about the origins and history of pantomime? 6 Pantomime Characters Traditional Pantomimes are easily recognisable nowadays for their use of stock characters, scenes and audience participation. In the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, you will be able to spot all the typical pantomime characters such as: The Principal Boy In traditional pantomime, the lead boy is played by a female actor. The principal boy is brave, heroic and adventurous. They will often be drawn into a quest to rescue the heroine of the story, defeating the villain along the way. Principal Boy characters include Dick Whittington, Jack, Aladdin and Prince Charming. The Dame An older female character played by a man, who is usually very comic and over the top. The best Pantomime Dames are recognisable as men playing a woman, rather than a man attempting to pass as a woman. Jack Tripp, a well known and experienced Dame, said that he should be clearly seen “as a nice man being a nice lady”. The role of the Dame has increased over the years. Where the Dame would originally have worn a hat and shawl throughout the performance, the actor may now have up to 15 costume changes! Dame characters include Widow Twankey in Aladdin, Dame Trott in Jack and the Beanstalk and Sarah the Cook in Dick Whittington. The Heroine Traditionally the heroine was girlish and innocent, and often becomes a Princess at the end of the story. In recent years, Pantomimes have moved more with the times and the heroines have been updated to be individual, powerful female characters that can affect the story and save the day for themselves. In the Everyman Theatre’s Sleeping Beauty in 2014, Princess Aurora rescued the Prince, slayed the dragon and saved the day, turning the traditional story on its head. The Comic Every pantomime has a silly character that tries to help the Hero or Heroine, but gets everything wrong along the way. They are normally the Dame’s child and need a lot of help from the audience during the show. The Comic Character is often played by professional comedians or clowns. 7 The Villain Every Fairytale and Pantomime story has a bad character that the Hero or Heroine has to defeat to save the day. The Villains are often driven by greed and a desire for power, and usually either use bad magic or are in some way grotesque. In Sleeping Beauty and Aladdin the Villains are often characters who possess magic powers who long for power over the kingdom. In Dick Whittingon, King Rat vies for control over London with Dick. In Cinderella, the villains are usually the Ugly Sisters – who are also Dames, which makes them comic and monstrous at the same time. In Jack and the Beanstalk, the ultimate Villain is a Giant who sends his henchman to steal from the villagers, and threatens to grind men’s bones to make his bread. The Good Fairy/Genie In every Pantomime story, the Hero has a magic helper, who guides them on their journey and provides some helping magic. Most stories have a Good Fairy, who use their powers to support the Hero and help to save the day. In Aladdin, a Genie (either of the Lamp or of the Ring) helps Aladdin pretend to be a Prince to be eligible to meet the Sultan and his daughter, the Princess. The Genie also helps to defeat the evil Abanazar. In Pantomime tradition, the Good Fairy will always enter from Stage Right (the left as the audience look at it) and the Villain will always enter from Stage Left. The Good Fairy always wears a very sparkly, glittering costume and often has a tiara or embellished jewellery. 8 Pantomime Traditions Pantomime is a show for all the family, and there are lots of elements to appeal to all ages. A Pantomime should be fun, involving and entertaining and should encourage lots of audience interaction – including characters coming into the auditorium, shout-outs, songs, sing-alongs and much more! Some of the elements you should expect to see in the pantomime are: The Slosh Scene During the pantomime, there is usually a very messy scene called the ‘Slosh’ scene. This is a scene where the Dame and the Comic character, and maybe one or two others, make a lot of mess on stage – usually making a cake, or decorating. The scene can take any form, but the aim is to get as messy as possible! Audience Participation The audience are encouraged to shout out responses to lines from the show. These can include “He’s behind you!”,”Oh yes it is/Oh no it isn’t” and often shouting the name of the Comic Character to get their attention. The audience are also encouraged to boo the villain whenever they enter, exit or do something bad. It’s important to remind younger audience members not to just shout for the whole performance – otherwise they might miss something! Sing-along Song At the end of the play, the Dame and the Comic Character will come out and sing a short section of one of the songs from the Pantomime. They will encourage the audience to sing along and join in with the actions. Often this song will lead to a competition to see which half of the audience is the loudest. The Walk Down When the Pantomime has finished, the actors will perform a walk down and take a bow to show that the show has reached its conclusion. The characters will then say a short conclusion before reprising a few numbers from the show. The walk down is a more fun, vibrant version of a normal Curtain Call which happens at the end of a play, and is usually set at the wedding of the Hero and Heroine, so expect lavish, colourful costumes and lots of smiles. Animals Every pantomime has a lot of animal characters – Jack and the Beanstalk has the cow, Dick Whittington has many rats, Cinderella has horses, mice, rats and lizard. The animals are a good opportunity to showcase the abilities of the younger dancers in the pantomime. The Spectacle Scene The Everyman Theatre’s Pantomimes have at least one show-stopping scene. In recent years, Cinderella’s kitchen transformed into a magical carriage with moving horses, Aladdin took Princess Jasmine for a high-flying ride over Old Peking on his Magic Carpet, and Dick Whittington dove into the sea to fight a Giant Squid. The scenes are spectacular to watch and are enjoyed by all. 9 Jack and the Beanstalk – The Story "Jack and the Beanstalk" is an English fairy tale. It appeared as "The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean" in the 1734 second edition of Round About Our Coal-Fire and as Benjamin Tabart's moralised "The History of Jack and the Bean-Stalk" in 1807. "Felix Summerly" (Henry Cole) popularised the tale in The Home Treasury (1842), and Joseph Jacobs rewrote it in English Fairy Tales (1890). Jacobs' version is most commonly reprinted today and it is believed to be closer to the oral versions than Tabart's because it lacks the moralising. "Jack and the Beanstalk" is the best known of the "Jack tales", a series of stories featuring the archetypal Cornish and English hero and stock character Jack. The Giant originally had no name, but has often picked up the name Blunderbore in Pantomimes. The Giant’s cry “Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!” originates from Shakespeare’s King Lear. In Roald Dahl’s The BFG, Jack is mentioned by the evil giants who are afraid of the “giantkiller” Jack, who kills Giants with his Beanstalk. The Giant’s don’t know how he uses his beanstalk, but they seem to think it is some kind of weapon. According to researchers at the universities in Durham and Lisbon, the story originated more than 5,000 years ago, based on a widespread archaic story form which is now classified by folkorists as ATU 328 The Boy Who Stole Ogre's Treasure. The story Jack and the Beanstalk is unusual in that it does not traditionally have a female love interest, which sets it apart from many other pantomimes. To help the story follow the expected pattern of a modern Pantomime, many productions include a girl named Jill – from the nursery rhyme Jack and Jill – who is kidnapped and taken prisoner by the Giant, which encourages Jack to climb the beanstalk and rescue her. 10 11 Behind the Scenes: An Interview with Geoffrey Rowe, Chief Executive of the Everyman Theatre Geoffrey Rowe has been the Chief Executive of the Everyman Theatre since 2006. In that time, the Everyman Theatre’s annual pantomime has grown in popularity, drawing in larger audiences year on year. What was your first experience of Pantomime? I went to a production at the Oxford New Theatre of Babes in the Wood. It had a hit song of the day in it – “I’m a Lonely Little Petunia in an Onion Patch”. The chorus was Boo hoo! Boo hoo! Why is Pantomime still popular today? The British love traditions and for some people pantomime is the only time they visit a theatre. Also, it is one of the few outings that all ages can enjoy, from small children to grandparents. In your opinion, what makes a good pantomime? A good pantomime starts with a strong basis. Good singing and dancing, with all the traditional elements added in like the Dame, the Slosh Scene and the song sheet etc. Which is your favourite Pantomime story – and why? Dick Whittington. I always find it strangely moving that the girl discovers she loves a thief but all comes right in the end What are the difficulties with staging an annual Pantomime? Lots of different scenes and furniture and effects and flying make pantomime technically difficult. There are a lot of performances so it’s very tiring for everyone on stage and off. Great danger of lost voices and injuries and catching flu in the cast. Audiences getting stuck in snow is the worst. 12 Behind the scenes: Making a Panto – An Interview with Phil Clark, Writer and Director Phil Clark writes and directs pantomimes around the country, as well as working with the Everyman Theatre on the annual Family Pantomime. Phil has worked as a Writer and Director for over 40 years, specialising in shows for younger audiences. In recent years, Phil has directed National Tours of Horrible Histories and The Firework Maker’s Daughter. What makes a good pantomime? Seeing an audience full of people laughing, crying, shouting and enjoying themselves is the best experience in the world, and it is the job of the pantomime to encourage the audience to feel all those things. If you don’t leave the theatre feeling that you’ve been on a journey with the characters then the pantomime hasn’t done its job. What’s the most difficult thing about writing a Pantomime? What is fantastic about the pantomime is the way it chooses to engage with its audience. The audience is an extra character onstage. Without the audience the pantomime doesn’t work. Pantomime is an open partnership between actor and audience. Friendships are made. Plots developed. Secrets are share and alliances made… and all in a public arena. At any time the audience can disturb the plot, or give the game away. The audience has power. Writing a pantomime that allows the audience to have that power, but still allowing the characters to guide the story is a fine line and can be difficult because every audience is different! How do you direct a Pantomime? Because the pantomime is such a big show we have quite a tight and rigid rehearsal process. There’s lots of dialogue to learn, dances to be choreographed, routines to be practiced and songs to be sung. Generally in week one, we rehearse Act One. In week two we rehearse… yes, you guess… Act Two. In week three, we spend time refining and getting the pace, energy and rhythm up to speed. In week four we move into the Everyman and put it all on stage with scenery, costumes, lights, sound effects and music… we run a tight ship. What’s your favourite Pantomime story to tell – and why? My favourite panto is probably Cinderella. It is magical and most people have great empathy with the themes. It’s a classic. 13 Behind the Scenes: Making a Panto - The Pantomime Timeline Producing a Pantomime is a year long process, which involves lots of planning and preparation. Everything needs to be co-ordinated and organised well before the opening night, to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. January This year’s pantomime story is selected The Writer, Director and Designers are hired February The writer begins to write the script March Tickets go on sale to schools and group bookers, before going on sale to the public Some Lead performers are cast April The first Pantomime advert goes in the Brochure The first draft of the script is submitted May A Production Meeting takes place, where the production team discuss the styles and themes of the show. The costume and set design begins June Casting Calls are issued for the main cast July Main cast auditions take place 14 August Final casting is announced September The Writer, Director and Designers have a production meeting to discuss set and costume designs October Cast receive their contracts Items are found to go in the Pantomime Goody bags Pantomime adverts begin to appear in local press, magazines and on buses. Pantomime workshop practitioners are hired and trained Most of the songs are decided November Rehearsals start Pantomime Workshop practitioners start visiting schools The Pantomime opens on the last weekend December The Pantomime is performed on 27 out of 31 days The theatre closes for one day on Christmas Be a Dramatist When we see a play the story is told to us by living characters on stage in dialogue form. The role of a Dramatist is to take the story and turn it into a play that people can sit and watch. 1. What are the problems encountered by the dramatist when adapting a story for the stage? 2. Why is it not enough just to use words as spoken in the story? 3. Tell the story of the pantomime from the point of view of different characters. 4. Imagine that you are one of the following characters and write a letter: 5. 1. As Jack to his Mother 2. As Jill to Jack 3. As the Giant to Jack, after Jack has taken the Golden Harp Write a poem based on the characters of the pantomime. First map out words or make up a word bank. Then use one of the following ways to write a poem: A narrative poem with rhymes A shape poem, for example in the shape of a glass slipper An alliterative poem using words which begin with the same letter You could collect these poems into a class book with illustrations, or send them to the Everyman Theatre where we will display them. 6. Write a sequel to Jack and the Beanstalk. 7. Write a fairy story as a class on the computer, adding a sentence each. 15 Be a Designer The role of a Designer is to take the story on the page and give it a visual style. The Designer needs to make everything work together, as well as creating costumes which suit each character’s personality. We associate colours with meanings and feelings, and this is an important part of costume design. Fill in the table below with a word that you associate to each colour. Colour Example: Blue Red Blue Green Yellow White Black Brown Purple Meaning Example: Sad / Calm / Cold Choose a character from Jack and the Beanstalk. What do you think they are like as a person? Choose 5 adjectives (describing words) which suit the character you have chosen: 1.___________________ 2.___________________ 3.___________________ 4.___________________ 5.___________________ Is the character you have chosen a Good Character or a Bad Character? Good Character Bad Character Pick 3 colours which best describe your character 1.___________________ 16 2.___________________ 3.___________________ Use the colours you have chosen to design a costume for your character. Here are some costume examples: We’d love to see your designs, so please feel free to send them to: Joe Hackett, Everyman Theatre, Regent Street, Cheltenham, GL50 1HQ 17 Be an Actor Acting for a Pantomime is all about playing up the characters as big as possible, making them larger than life and exaggerated. KS1 Acting Exercises: 1) Describing Words Say the name of a character and have the group suggest describing words – try to encourage words which describe the character’s personality, avoiding words about appearance which can be subjective. Choose two or three words and ask the group to show that word with their body. Encourage them to think about different ways of showing a word so that there are different examples. This exercise should encourage physicality and thinking about how to display emotions through gesture. 2) Still Images Split the class into smaller groups of 4 or 5. Give the groups a moment from the story – Jack selling the cow, Jack climbing the Beanstalk, Jack rescuing Jill from the Giant – and have the group create still images which show the moment you have given. Encourage them to see how the same moment can be shown in different ways. KS2 Acting Exercises: 1) Role Play Split the class into groups of 3 or 4 and assign characters who could reasonably exist on the edge of the story of the pantomime. Have the group create a short scene where they act as those characters having a conversation about an event of the play – Villagers in Jack’s Village talking about the beanstalk that has grown overnight, Market Traders talking about the cow they’ve seen Jack trying to sell, Villagers whose house has been squashed by the Giant falling from the Beanstalk. Encourage the group to think outside the story and think how they would react in the situation. 2) Dumb Show Cover the story with the group to ensure they understand the basic outline. Split the class into groups of 5 or 6 and have them act out a silent version of the pantomime. Make sure that they make it clear which character they are playing through their physicality and facial expression. This exercise will help the children to understand how exaggeration and gesture are used to create comedy and larger-than-life characters. 18 Writing Exercises Write to the Theatre At the Everyman Theatre, we would love to hear back from you about your experience at the Pantomime. Try writing a formal letter to the Everyman Theatre and send it in to: Joe Hackett Marketing and Participation Officer Everyman Theatre Regent Street Cheltenham GL50 1HQ The address of the person you are writing to should go in the top left corner. Your address, or your class and school, should go on the right alongside the first address. Slightly underneath, on the left, should be the greeting (Dear Sir/Madam if you don’t know who you’re writing to, or Dear ______ putting in the person’s name if you know it) In the main section of the letter, start with why you are writing, and then write details about your thoughts of the show – these can be good or not so good, we like any kind of feedback! At the end of your letter, remember to sign off correctly. If you don’t know who you’re writing to (Dear Sir/Madam) sign off with ‘Yours faithfully’. If you know the name of the person (i.e. Joe Hackett) the letter should end with ‘Yours sincerely’ Send us a Postcard Alternatively, print this page on a piece of card and make your own postcard to send to the theatre, using the template below. 19 KS1 WRITING EXERCISES Rhyming Game Some characters in the pantomime speak in rhyme. Fill in the story below choosing which words best rhyme and finish the each line. Jack, our Hero, lived in Town with his lovely mum, Dame Trott But they were feeling very ___________, because they haven’t got a ____________ One day when they were very Poor, they needed funds Somehow They couldn’t bear it any _________, and had to sell their ____________ Choose from the words below: More Down Cow Lot KS2 WRITING EXERCISES Be a Critic A critic is a person who comes to see a show and writes a Review, which tells people whether the show is worth seeing or not. A good critic can cover the basic story and sum up the production – the good things and the things which can be improved – clearly and understandably, without being mean or insulting specific people or areas of the production. 1) Try writing a review for a show you’ve been to see/ for the Pantomime - Make sure you tell the reader: the name of the show and where it is on; a brief outline of the story; what you liked; who the best people in the show were; what you would maybe have liked to see; how long the show is on for. Write about a Pantomime Experience Think about your visit to the Pantomime. Remember how the stage was lit, what the costumes were like, how many backdrops there were, what food and drink you could see on sale. Now imagine that you are a child from 100 years ago. Think about how a visit to the theatre would have been different 100 years ago. Write a short story about visiting the theatre – remember to talk about what you can see, hear and smell, what the atmosphere is like. Try not to talk about the Modern Day, and only talk about what a child 100 years ago would see and understand. 20 Maths Exercises KS1 Exercises Audience Numbers a) The Stalls (Ground Floor) can seat 20 people, and the Circle (First Floor) can seat 30 people. How many people can be seated altogether? b) A teacher has a class of 12 children, and two Staff Helpers. If the class is split equally between the three adults, how many children is each adult responsible for? KS2 Exercise Producing a Pantomime Budget Staging a pantomime is an expensive business. The amount of money available in the budget determines what a Creative Team can and can’t afford. Use the table below to work out the budget for your own show. Your students will need to choose either the Basic, Standard or Best option for each heading, and put the cost for the chosen level in the Budget Choice column. Having the different amounts will force learners to make critical decisions about what their production will prioritise to make it come within budget. It is important to note that none of these options create a ‘Bad’ show, but the more expensive options will be the most reliable, most crowdpleasing options. The Budget for your Pantomime is £100,000. Good Luck! ITEM BASIC STANDARD BEST Writer £4,000 £6,000 £8,000 Director £5,000 £8,000 £10,000 Musical Director £4,000 £6,000 £8,000 Musicians £10,000 £15,000 £20,000 Choreographer £2,000 £3,000 £4,000 Principal Cast £10,000 £15,000 £20,000 Ensemble Cast/Dancers £4,000 £6,000 £8,000 Technical Team £5,000 £8,000 £10,000 Stage Set £9,000 £12,000 £18,000 Costumes £7,500 £10,000 £15,000 Props £2,000 £4,000 £6,000 Stage Effects £1,000 £2,500 £5,000 Lighting Equipment £5,000 £10,000 £15,000 Sound Equipment £4,000 £7,500 £10,000 Marketing £1,000 £4,000 £7,500 TOTAL 21 BUDGET CHOICE Competition Time!
