How to Lean: Mime Basics

"Leaning on an object. We can have a table. Now, with a table, I want to bring up my elbow higher than the object. I'm going to bring that hand down and look at my knee. At this point, I'm leaning on. Watch, as I'm lifting up, I try to use the body part closest to my image. That's going to be my shoulder. I'm going to push on my shoulder, lift off my elbow, and straighten up my knee. It's a succession of body parts. My shoulder, my elbow, rest on it. Now, if want to look casual, I can go like this. I'm waiting for someone, I'm leaning, back to leaning."
