non verbal communication------- ( miming)
Author: zion ng
Hi again,
Q: Have you ever seen a mime /a mime artist ?
For me, i just did few days ago when this mime team from Australia came to my church to perform. they really inspired me to write about miming.
WHAT IS ACTUALLY MIME ?
A mime is a performing art that involves body motion and gestures to act an story . A mime is very similar to silent comedy but it is not. A mime has a story line and a message to deliver to the audience and silent comedy only aims to make people laugh through random themes.
On the performance night, the whole hall was just silent for a whole hour and the spot light was on them . Everyone there understood what is being displayed without the need of speech and language. this is truly a non- verbal communication.
this is a video of a mime with a police man, i find it very funny. i dunno how to put link so please copy and paste .
