Friday Mime

Fridays mime was pretty cool because instead of doing random different acts of mime, we did scenes. They weren't just any types of scenes though, they were scenes of rituals that we do that flowed into each other. We had engagement, football game, new years party and were currently working on a funeral. They all flow into each other but have no connection. It's cool that you can use nothing but your body but show exactly what we're doing and feeling.

Mime from a different perspective

I actually did more watching mime then the actual act of mime becuase I recorded what was going on the whole class for the ending project. It was cool to watch the learning process and see people get more comfortable as time went on. As your doing mime side by side with all the other people you basiclaly are foccusing on yourself and don't get to ovserve other peoplpe but while i was recording i got to see what people were doing to make it better, how into it some people were getting and how your focus helps you make evrything look more real.

friday mimee

Better late then never. So, as the sessions go on, I'm getting a lot more comfortable with miming which really let's me explore with my body easily and more flowy. I really enjoyed the ending where we did this slow motion excited scene and I actually enjoyed it a lot bc I couldn't believe how real it looked while looking in the mirror. We also did a super bowl fight scene and it was really funny and got me out of my head easily.

First Mime Experience

So, my first experience with mime was very fun but very awkward. I hate when I'm not good at things so I autimatically give up as soon as I start with was probably what happened for the first half but then he said everyone "lean on the bar and hold it" and he went around checking or fixing everyone and he came by and altered my arm a little and said perfect and thats when I looked in the mirrow and was like "woah, I actually look like I'm leaning on something" which is a pretty funny break threw for me but that's when i really started to get into it and enjoyed learning all the small tricks on how to make things look real.
