But, of course, this art of portraying character or telling a story by body movements has a very wide range. We can see mime in ballet, in silent films, in the dance dramas of the Far East and India, in the circus, and in the legitimate theatre. In Eyes on Mime, Kathrine Sorley Walker traces its development through history, the technique of different gesture languages belonging to different cultures, and the varying ways in which mime is used today, not only in the theatre but in our everyday life. Illustrated with over 30 photographs, this interesting book shows just how flourishing and lively an art mime is.
