Bath International Mummers' Festival Symposium 2012 - Dave Hunt

'Teaching Mummers' plays in schools'

Abstract

The paper draws on personal experience of working in schools - mostly with the primary age group on and with mummers' plays and associated materials. Central to the paper are special considerations for staging with reference to age range and rehearsal; music, song and choral components; the adaptation of local scripts; costumes and properties.

Unfortunately, Dave was unable to present his paper at this year's symposium.
