A comprehensive guide to mime. the great French mime performer, Claude Kipnis, reveals the mechanisms and techniques of mime in an easy-to understand translation. This is not a theoretical 'art of book, but a functional 'how to' and 'why to' instructional guide. Individual exercises are included, together with detailed coverage of body movements, the illusion and how to create a world. We know of no other book that so comprehensively explains how the functions of mime are achieved. Certainly a basic text for any aspiring mime.
