  4. Acting requires you to pretend – in order to make an audience believe, the actor must believe! • Mime is one of the oldest forms of theatre. • A mime often wears clown white to highlight the face and its movements. • Body language is very important in mime! • Mimes create invisible walls, stroke, caress, or push away using hands and arms.

Essential body parts • The chest • Chest expanded – pride, sophistication, nobility or confidence • Chest pushed forward – aggressive, determination • Chest curved inward – weak, old age, shyness, exhaustion • The Face and head • Downturned mouth – displeasure • Flair nostrils – angry • Wide eyes, arched brows – happiness, delight • Downturned mouth, narrowed eyes – anger • Mouth in a straight line, eyes wide, eyebrows arched – listening, attentive, curious

  6. The legs and feet • One leg crossed over the other – relaxed, casual • Feet turned in or one leg bent – shy • Feet apart and legs straight – strength, confidence (add hands on the hips and you create a feeling of scorn, threat, or contempt) • The arms and hands • Palms up – acceptance, pleading, sympathy • Clenched fists – anger • Palms down – rejection, demanding, denial, fear
