The document summarizes the aims of a devised performance piece using mime and comedy. The performance has themes of friendship and bullying portrayed through silent comedy. Mime was chosen because it is unique and challenging. The target audience is families and teenagers, as it will be performed at school. The goal is to amuse the audience and show them how interesting mime can be. The performance style is musical theater since mime has no dialogue; music and lighting will be used to convey meaning. Dramatic possibilities include using lighting effects to create dramatic moments in the piece.

I also want our piece to show our audience how miming works and that its an interesting form of drama. What style(s) of performance will we use? (E.g. naturalism, musical theatre.) Musical theatre is the style of performance we will use because as we are doing mime there is no dialogue do our focus is on music and lighting to create clear understanding of the piece. What are the dramatic possibilities of the piece? (E.g. for plot and character development, staging.) We might use this light that creates this shattering effect which can make it a very dramatic moment. 息 Pearson Education Ltd 2008. Copying permitted for purchasing institution only.
