What is The Pantomime Studios and Why Should We Learn Pantomime? Pantomime Studios is a place for performers of all kinds to learn the art of using the body as an instrument of theatrical expression.
Pantomime is a performing art in which the actor uses the body to express thought, emotion, story, and character in ways that go beyond words. The pantomime actor also has the physical skills to create the illusion of objects, people, and everything in his entire environment, and to use time and space differently than in traditional, realistic performance.
The pantomime actor is a master of movement, and although movement in pantomime is very stylized, a performer trained in pantomime can also use movement more effectively in other performing arts such as traditional acting for theatre and film, dance, stand-up comedy, live entertainment for corporate events, and more. In fact, many famous performers have studied or practiced pantomime, or have used pantomime in their work, including: Charlie Chaplin, Steven Berkoff, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Jackie Chan, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Irwin, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Lange, Gates McFadden, Geoffrey Rush, Lily Tomlin, Dick Van Dyke, and Robin Williams.
As a student at Pantomime Studios, you will
learn the physical and dramatic skills of this art, and depending on your
talent and dedication, you will be given opportunities to perform in front
of live audiences, to express your emotions, to transport yourself into an
imaginary world, and to audition for World Gate Entertainment.
Opportunities are unlimited!
