This book is a very good basic grounding in using your body for mime (and not only). I would have five-starred it but for the fact that there are frequent references to the accompanying video (an older book/video package I assume) which doesn't exist any more (the book comes on its own and is wafer thin). When searching for a matching DVD I found Mimodrame II and III but not the first instalment - shame cos it's a pretty good work as I said.

Excellent reference, how to steps and illustrations
7 Nov 2004
A look inside this book gives one a complete understanding how complex or intricate the world of mime is. It is called the "art of silence" because mime uses the body to communicate or telling a story without words.
Numerous pictures fill the pages with many focusing on body or hand movements. This book has a companion video.
Included in the text is an introduction, glossary of terms, bibliography and SEVEN chapters on instruction.
The chapters are titled: Body Positioning, The Body that Talks: Building Characters - communication and symbolism of the entire body.
Sculpting the Body covers equilibrium, character construction and how the body gets into a position such as fear. The Living Character chapter involves breath, rhythm, resistance, etc.
Big, Bigger, and Biggest details coloration, decoloration, gestual coloration, etc. Coloration is described as "the augmentation of a thought without the destruction of thought."
Object Identification will explain identification, the flower, the rock, etc. And the last, Illusion - creating illusion, techniques of, illusions of transfer, object illusion, etc.
The video follows the book's techniques to master communication with clear definition and a how to understanding of mime. You will also hear the French terminology.
I can't imagine there being a better set than this. .....Rizzo
