Group Mime
General Objectives
The Group Mime section of this syllabus provides learners with the opportunity to:
- experience the exciting challenge of working together as a team
- demonstrate an awareness of each other and a sense of sharing
- demonstrate co-ordination and timing
A group must contain a minimum of three persons and up to a maximum of twelve persons.
Selections should be taken from plays by any well known playwrights.
The group scenes will be marked as a one performance.
Guidelines for Mime learners:
- Full costume or make up is not permitted, although a suggestion of costume (e.g. shawls, practice skirt or hat) and hand props are allowed (e.g. fans, bags, walking sticks, etc.)
- Learners are not permitted to present work which they have already submitted at another grade. Learners found to be repeating work will be disqualified and fees will be forfeited
- In line with current standard Health and Safety advice, all learners must ensure they are warmed up physically before the examination
- Any mime may be performed with musical accompaniment if desired but this must be operated by the learner/s.
- Medals are only awarded to learners who are successful in the Solo syllabus
- Entries are welcomed from learners who may be hard of hearing, deaf or who have oral communication difficulties. We can arrange for these learners to have a short written questionnaire immediately prior to the examination if questioning is an element of the examination. Please contact the New Era Office to make these special arrangements
