Kai Actors! AT HOME

Ever dreamed of being the star of your own show? Are you a modern-day Shakespeare?
Well, then KidZania’s Acting Academy is calling your name!

Actors are a part of our every-day-lives, on the TV, at the theatre and even on the radio.
The things that keep you entertained whilst you’re bored at home have all been created
by actors especially for you! But now it’s your turn!

1 First, we need to create a stage!

Clear a space in your living room, your bedroom or
even your garden for your performance to take place.

2 Next, we need some content!

Have a go at writing your own script! This could be a
monologue (lines for only person) or a duologue (lines for two people).
It doesn’t have to be long! One minute scripts are very popular performance
pieces as they’re short, fun and keep everyone’s concentration!

3 Rehearse your piece!

Try to remember your lines without looking at the script.
Practice with the other person or, if you’re performing alone,
have a go at reciting your lines in the mirror!

4 Get into costume!

Use your imagination – anything will do! If your character is a superhero,
why not tie a blanket around your shoulders as a super kool cape?
Or if your character is the Queen of the castle, try making a crown out of
some cardboard and decorate it with jewels to show off your wealth!

5 Find an audience!
Place some seating in front of your stage (if you don’t have enough chairs,
just put some cushions on the floor for your audience to sit on).
Gather whoever is around and invite them to the first ever performance!

6 Opening night!
Take a deep breath. 1, 2, 3 – that’s your cue! Enjoy yourself whilst performing;
smile, laugh and don’t forget to take a bow at the end!

If you’ve created your own performance masterpiece, then why not show it off?
