Zitat des Tages über Mime:
To me, acting is acting... I'd be happy working on a street corner in a mime troupe.
What sculptors do is represent the essence of gesture. What is important in mime is attitude.
Probably one of the most surreal moments of my career was acting in front of Notre Dame with a mime.
Physical expression was my first language: Before I was an actor, I was a dancer, an acrobat, a mime and a street performer.
I really loved animals when I was little - my friend and I had an imaginary vet's office; we would mime doing surgery on animals. We treated more injuries than illnesses - fixing with a baby bear with a broken leg, removing a tumor. Of course, our surgeries would take about five seconds; that's how good we were.
When I went to get my master's in creative writing at San Francisco State after Grinnell, I joined the moribund remnants of the Actor's Workshop, until I saw Kay Hayward and Sandy Archer in the San Francisco Mime Troupe and drove down that day to audition. The rest is history.
Never get a mime talking. He won't stop.
I started off at the Second City in Chicago... It's an improvisational theater that ostensibly does social and political satire, but when I was there, we generally didn't. We did character work, and we did just the silliest things we could think of. We weren't all that concerned with, you know, changing the world through mime.
I always loved to dance and move. I probably should have been a mime or something like that.
I used to do puppet theatre and also mime and musical theatre in Florida for competitions and festivals, which was great. I was very much involved in theatre when I was in college.
I learned mime back when I was in college, at Ball State University, Indiana. That woke up my body from the neck down and made me realize that acting and communication - portraying a story, event, or emotion - is a full-body experience.
