Description
Mime Technique
The actor/pupil needs to be totally aware of their body (energy and focus) in order to be able to go to a movement or gesture. The actor through mime technique will discover what muscles will support them, learn body balance, isolations and precise movement. The actor/pupil will learn the world of illusion and not rely on props and text.
