my name is Jude Parry from Gold Coast Theatre Company in Miami Beach. Today I will be teaching you little bit about the art of mime. I mentioned before that you don't need much space. In my career, my long career as a mime, I performed under a tree. I performed on a stage for 3 or 5 thousand people and I've performed in space no bigger than 12 feet. How do we do that? Well, we create everything around us. If you were a mime, you don't need to go walking across. In fact, the audience doesn't want to see you walk. They want to see you stay still and have everything up here around you. You could be in a kitchen or you in be in a surgeons operating room. Whatever you use it could be right there around you and you can create the objects. It's the poetry of having my central powerful core figure and these beautiful arm movements that I use to create the illusion. Not only is it beautiful to look at, but it's also very interesting because you never know what I'm going to take, use, and make into a comic or a dramatic sketch. The art my one person can create a whole universe.
