Programme Synopsis Creative movement is an integral part of any drama programme. Movement and Mime reinforce non-verbal communication skills. In the opening scene of the story, we see ornamental gnomes in various poses in a garden. The owner of the garden moves around and complains about how overgrown it has become. Every time the owner turns his back, the gnomes stretch their limbs and freeze quickly before the owner notices. The owner, too discouraged to start working, goes inside the house for a nap. The garden gnomes come to life, clean up the garden, then resume their statue-like positions. The owner was surprised to see the transformed garden when he returned. The gnomes congratulate each other behind the owner's back, freezing each time before they are seen.
