+eeing what students can con(ey with their body and face Mime is good practice for de(e#oping awareness of the body Let students know how powerfu# miming can be as it trains the body for other types of acting &e## story of my friend the c#own teacher $i(e e)amp#es of miming and how it may #ook o(er the top, but such methods a#ways benefit actors in being ab#e to con(ey so much to the audience where their scripts a, ha(e a break in dia#ogue, b, do not state what it is thats e)act#y going on and c, if you ha(e a different interpretation of the script you can manipu#ate the meaning of the script -an a#ways go way o(er the top and bring it back .hen you are used to acting in a (ery understated way and get up on stage, you wi## shrink into the background and wi## be boring
