Description Of Radical Pantomime Courses
Radical Pantomime Courses are for young writers in the middle school years. Courses focus on comedy writing modelled on the successful scripts of comedy writers who between 1850 and 1920 wrote, published and produced comic pantomimes in the English-speaking world globally.
The writers are mostly forgotten today but in their time their comic scripts were viewed by 100,000s throughout the UK and her colonies. They include E. L. Blanchard, H. B. Byron, Garnet Walch and W. H. Akhurst. Today their work is held, along with other production materials, in the world’s digital archives, including major public archives such as the Library of Congress, the British Library and the National Library of Australia.
Using existing scripts as stimuli, young writers are given the choice to create comic text for their school communities as prose, performance and film scripts. This orientation course demonstrates the three types of courses which are offered to get them to come up with their own original work through the key concepts of storytelling, including
- Creating A Comic Story World
- Giving Conflict A Comic Treatment
- Blending Mythical Stories With Real Events
