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. Now, the first type of mime walk I gave you was actually pretty complicated. This is a lot simpler. To give you the basics of mime walking. If you look at my feet, you'll see what I do is I put my heel on the ground as I'm preparing to walk. As I scoot my heel back, did you see the way my knee kicked out in front of me? Then I change position, scoot my heel back, and my knee bends. I do this repeatedly always. As I said before, not losing height, but making my legs and hips do all the work. If you see, my hips don't even change height. They don't bob up and down. I'm simply putting one foot out and then scooting it back. It does take a lot of power in your thighs. You really do have to work your thighs because at some point, I have got all my weight on the toes of my foot while the other one is scooting back. That's a good walk that you can use in profile and it's a lot simpler than the first type of walk, and it's a basic to any form of mime walk.
