Create YouTube Pantomimes
I won a BEMAC (Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre) grant to create a YouTube pantomime.
It’s based on my picture book, READY SET DISCOVER LOGAN, using costumes, props, puppets, special effects and FUN!
WHO: Karen Tyrrell & Steve Tyrrell won a BEMAC grant.
WHAT: Through pantomime, we explore Logan’s TOP attractions: parks, environments, history and wildlife.
Steve plays aboriginal boy Bunji. I perform as migrant girl Yana.

How to Create YouTube Pantomimes
- Create a captivating book, connecting with children. Consider an Arts grant for both the book AND the pantomime.
- Write a pantomime script based on the book, maximizing interaction and engagement with the audience. Consider costumes, props, puppets, songs, jokes, physical humor.
- Consider your tech equipment: lights, camera, mike, background.
- Practice pantomime with co-actors, focusing on spatial awareness, voice projection, movements, surprise, camera vision, sound.
- Perform/record in front of camera and mike. Play back and take note for how to improve. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.
- Edit adding pictures, special effects and music using a video editing program, try Photos or Lighthouse.
- Upload to YouTube adding description, tags and hashtags.
- Promote! Promote! Promote!
