From Charlie Chaplin to Buster Keaton, from The Kid (1921) to The Artist (2011), silent comedy has delighted generations of film-goers. At the School of Slapstick workshops you’ll create, shoot and star in your own silent comedy film, working with professional theatre tutors, cameramen and editors. Each workshop will begin with a screening of a classic silent comedy short, after which you’ll be trained in silent comedy acting techniques. You’ll then create your own scenes with costumes and props, and your performances will be filmed and edited into a short film.

10.30 – 12.30, ages 8 – 12, limited places.
