## Programme

  Pretending is the beginning of theatre. Children practise portraying something and discover how their voice and body can tell a story.

- 

### Acting out

      A movement or posture alone can say a lot.

- 

### Playing with your voice

      Children try out how they can express something with their voice.

- 

### Making theatre together

      Games bring the group onto the stage. If there is enough time, they practise a short piece.

  Whether there is a short performance depends on the time available.
