my name is Jude Parry from Gold Coast Theatre Company in Miami Beach. Today I will be teaching you a little bit about the art of mime. One of the great illusions of the art of mime is opening a door. You can do it in mime on stage or you can even do it in real life. Now, if you look closely at what I'm doing, you'll see there are many different objects in play. I reach across my body, grab the handle, twist the handle, pivot my arm straight from my body, fix point on the hand, take 1, 2 steps towards my hand, release the handle, turn towards the door, close the door with a bang, and a flip. You can open door on stage because then everybody has door that they have to open to go from one room to another and then proposition, or you can do it in real life. What if you're standing in a bar and a cute looking lady or man comes next to you and you want to do something to catch their attention. Wait, please. Through the door. It's a great pick up line, and it works for me.
