CADS Pantomime - message from Richard
Hello everyone!
After an amazing session last week, I am looking forward to seeing more of you tomorrow for our second Chorus Call & Casting Workshop! As a reminder, anyone who came last week should come again tomorrow as we'll be doing a different song and working through new parts of the script!
Sunday 10th November @ Cullingworth Village Hall
13:00 - 14:45: Chorus Call
15:00 - 16:00: Scriptwork Workshop
So what is a Chorus Call? Well, it's a chance for new Junior or Senior members to get a taste of what it's like being part of the CADS Chorus. We'll start off with a "warm up" game, getting our bodies and voices ready to learn a new song fit for a Panto! We will go through a song we'll be performing in the pantomime, and tomorrow's song is "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers. You'll learn how to sing each line by itself, before singing and maybe dancing to a backing track! (Although in the Panto, it should be performed by a band!).
And what is a Scriptwork Workshop? It's a session for you to get a sneak peek of the script, become familiar with the different characters and for the production team to see who is good for each role! Your opinion matters, so let us know your favourite characters and we can note it down ready for casting. Tomorrow we'll also be getting some of you to read scripts in front of the group, as if you were on stage.
Panto Show Dates are 20th - 22nd February 2025 with Dress Rehearsals on 16th & 19th February.
Panto 2025 all starts here... See you soon!
