The art of mime uses the physical body to its fullest as an expressive tool. Honing this non-verbal communication is important for actors, dancers, circus-ers and other performers. Mime promotes control of physical movement, simplicity of thought and awareness of one's surroundings, self and others. This workshop will teach foundational mime techniques and concepts including corporeal movement, phrasing, counterpoint and object manipulation. Students will create a short movement piece to perform at the end of the day.
One-hour lunch break from 12-1pm.
