Making a Mime

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  30 August 2024

Extract

How is a mime made? Surely the methods must be as varied as the makers, so that any description will to some extent, be personal.

First, the choosing of a theme. Mime is essentially simple: in its action, in its presentation, in its appeal, and to derive full value from it, the underlying idea needs to be simple too; simple because it is basic, a statement of fact, which is not to deny that it may be profound. Indeed, it is through the simple straight forward movements of mime that some of the deepest mysteries of our faith may be illustrated.

The theme of this mime was to be twofold: the linking thread was to be that of the angels, whose name both in Hebrew and Greek means ‘a messenger', and it was in this manner that thw were to be shown, as God's messengers to man.
