    Beautifully said. Pantomiming is a lot harder than people think. One slip up and the illusion is broken. For everyone.

    This is actually a beautiful metaphor. I love the idea of creating illusions to link peoples imaginations.

    You have energy and the object you're about to make contact with has energy too...and once those two things meet that makes an illusion??? BRILLIANTLY said....Thank You

    Been asked to potentially be a mime in a week and 1/2 from now on Bastille Day (GULP!) and came across this video and found it very helpful to get down some basics! I think my biggest takeaway is truly seeing the object there and manipulating or playing with it not like you're just miming but actually visualizing the wall or the teacup there. Also, that little action once your hand makes contact with the "wall" - these little subtleties are very good tips!! I don't think I'll pull it off "expertly" but I think whatever I do now will be better than what I would have done before seeing this video. Thank you for uploading it!

    I know Bill! He came to Governor's School for the Arts in Tennessee back when I was 16. It changed my life. I knew from then on I wanted to be a physical theater performer.
