The body language of mimes un- ravels the mysteries of character, motivation, and plot that they adroitly crowd into sketches lasting only minutes. ‘The truly skilled, like Marcel Marceau, invite us to share a world that exists only in the imagination. Born in France, Marcel Marceau developed an early taste for pan- tomime as he watched the antics of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and the Marx Brothers in movies that broke down language barriers and national differences. After serving in the army during World War II, he entered the School of Dramatic Art in Paris. There he created his famous character Bip, who was named afier the character Pip in Charles Dickens's Great Expectations. Marceau tells most of his stories through this simple, pathetic, and irrepressible clown. In a stovepipe hat decorated with a bobbing red flower, Bip walks against the imaginary wind, nurses a seemingly sore fin- ger, pulls an imaginary rope in a tug-of-war, catches a make-believe but- terfly, and climbs an imaginary flight of stairs. His performances are deceptively simple, yet they embody the most intricate theatrical tech niques. With his body as his primary instrument, he twists, turns, and bends. His eyes and his stark, almost shocking, painted-white face fur- ther absorb the audience in the action. As Marceau has said, “Pan- tomime is the art of expressing feelings and attitudes, not a means of expressing words through gestures.” Marcel Marceau’s aim is simply to make his audience see, feel, and hear the invisible. Each of the sketches in his repertoire offers a glimpse into the amusing foibles of human nature. With posture and facial expres- sion alone, he re-creates fugitive displays of misery, jealousy, solitude, de- feat, frustration, and shame. Having given some 15,000 performances in more than 100 countries, Marceau now devotes most of his energy to the students enrolled in his, mime school and troupe. A great believer in technique, he drills them in classical and modern dance, juggling, fencing, acrobatics, and jazz in addition to the grammar of mime. These young artists are his legacy. Through them, he hopes to introduce the magic of mime to a genera- tion shaped by the noise and action of television. repertoire stark Context Clues: Reading in the Humanitiesees Each word in this lesson’s word list appears in dark type in the selection you just read.
