Description
Mime the Gap: Techniques in Mime and Movement explores the physicality of movement in storytelling, offering new ideas about acting and performance. This book encourages a contemporary resurgence of traditional performance art, providing detailed instructions for basic to advanced mime illusions.
It addresses key areas of physicality, including when to move and when not to move, making the invisible 'visible'. Additional topics include how to use elements like Fire, Earth, Water and Air for physical characterization, as well as techniques for performing classic mime routines. The book also covers miming with props and objects, using breath, posture and gesture to enhance performance and perceptions.
With numerous exercises suitable for solo or group work, Mime the Gap will help you explore and develop your physicality and build an awareness of how to apply it to a performance.
