  • Definition of Pantomime: ​A Theatrical Entertainment, Mainly for Children
    Definition of Pantomime: A theatrical entertainment, mainly for children, which involves music, topical jokes, and slapstick comedy and is ​ based on a fairy tale or nursery story, usually produced around Christmas. A typical Pantomime storyline: Normally, a pantomime is an adapted fairytale so it is usually a magical love story which involves something ​ going wrong (usually the fault of an evil baddy) but the ending (often after a fight between good and evil) is always happy and results in true love. Key characters in Pantomime: The female love interest, e.g Snow White, Cinderella etc The Handsome Prince e.g Prince Charming The evil character e.g the evil Queen in Snow White The faithful sidekick - e.g Buttons in Cinderella The Pantomime Dame - provides most of the comedy - an exaggerated female, always played by a man for laughs How to act in a pantomime style: 1. Your character is an over-the-top type’, not a real person, so exaggerate as much as you can, in gesture, voice and movement 2. Speak to the audience - if you are a ‘Goody’, your character must be likeable or funny. If you are a ‘Baddy’, insult your audience, make them dislike you from the start. 3. There is always a narrator - make sure she knows speaks confidently and knows the story well. 4. Encourage the audience to be involved by asking for the audience’s help, e.g “If you see that naughty boy will you tell me?” 5. If you are playing that ‘naughty boy’, make eye contact with the audience and creep on stage.

HISTORY OF PANTOMIME Pantomime is a type of theatre producon intended for family entertainment which includes music, dance and comedy. Pantomime found its heart, and developed in the United Kingdom, where it is performed typically during the Christmas and New Year season. These days, Pantomime is oen seen as a quintessenally Brish tradion, but the origins of this form of theatre actually stem from much warmer parts of Europe! One of the first recorded references to Pantomime was in Ancient Greece; the Greek words “pan” meaning “all”, and “mimos” which translates as “imitator” described a group who “imitate all” – the performances would feature songs, music and comedy.

  • Chinese Cinderella: the True Story of an Unwanted Daughter
    After a while I said, “When did my mama die?” “Your mama came down with a high fever three days after you were born. She died when you were two weeks old. …” Though I was only four years old, I understood I should not ask Aunt Baba too many questions about my dead mama. Big Sister once told me, “Aunt Baba and Mama used to be best friends. A long time ago, they worked together in a bank in Shanghai owned by our grandaunt, the youngest sister of Grandfather Ye Ye. But then Mama died giving birth to you. If you had not been born, Mama would still be alive. She died because of you. You are bad luck.” ALSO AVAILABLE IN LAUREL-LEAF BOOKS: THE HERMIT THRUSH SINGS, Susan Butler BURNING UP, Caroline B. Cooney ONE THOUSAND PAPER CRANES, Takayuki Ishii WHO ARE YOU?, Joan Lowery Nixon HALINKA, Mirjam Pressler TIME ENOUGH FOR DRUMS, Ann Rinaldi CHECKERS, John Marsden NOBODY ELSE HAS TO KNOW, In- grid Tomey TIES THAT BIND, TIES THAT BREAK, Lensey Namioka CONDITIONS OF LOVE, Ruth Pennebaker I have always cherished this dream of creating something unique and imper- ishable, so that the past should not fade away forever. I know one day I shall die and vanish into the void, but hope to preserve my memories through my writing. Perhaps others who were also unwanted children may see them a hundred years from now, and be encouraged. I imagine them opening the pages of my book and meeting me (as a ten-year-old) in Shanghai, without actually having left 6/424 their own homes in Sydney, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong or Los Angeles.
