Everyone stands in a circle and sings this song:
Genre cauldron Genre cauldron Genre cauldronnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Thus the genre cauldron is opened.
We imagine there is a bubbling cauldron in the centre of the room and into it we throw all the ingredients of a certain genre of film, theatre or literature.
It ends with a flurry of suggested titles that aren’t real but sound like they might be.
Then you sing the genre cauldron song again.
This is just a fun way to explore the constituent parts of a genre.
As you sing the song, stike dramatic poses each line for extra enjoyment.
