These international mime artists, trained in Paris by Marcel Marceau, have taught mime workshops around the world. This video and workbook program presents a comprehensive series of mime exercises for student practice and review. Each technique is explained step-by-step in the illustrated book and shown clearly and slowly on the DVD. Some techniques include: Body Positioning, Communicating With the Body, and The Living Character. Also includes the techniques of creating an illusion, object identification, and gestural coloration and decoloration. Includes one DVD and one 35 page workbook.
This instructional program investigates the foundational mechanics and physical discipline required to master the art of mimodrame. The author, Todd Farley, draws upon training derived from the lineage of Marcel Marceau to provide a structured pedagogical framework for students. By combining visual demonstration with written exercises, the work argues that mime is a technical skill set that can be systematically acquired through repetitive practice and precise body control.
What You Will Find
The material presents a highly specialized, technical approach to performance art suitable for students seeking a foundational understanding of classical mime. Its reliance on a dual-media format suggests a focus on practical application and visual mimicry over theoretical discourse.
