From the Greek Mimes to Marcel Marceau and Beyond
One of the few studies covering the historical flow of mime from its beginnings to postmodern movement theatre, this book explores the evolution of mime and pantomime from the Greeks to the 20th Century, depicting the role of mime in dance, clowning, the cinema, and verbal theatre throughout the centuries. With over sixty illustrations, this worldwide study is indispensable for the student, teacher, or fan of mime.
Marcel Marceau, Master of Mime
From the age of five, Marcel Marceau knew he wanted to be a silent actor, just like Charlie Chaplin. When World War II intervened, he joined the resistance, helping to get young Jews to safety during this dangerous time. But Marcel never forgot his dream of being a mime artist and entertaining the world.
Modern and Post-modern Mime
This series aims to introduce the reader to major 19th and 20th century dramatists, movements and new forms of drama throughout the world. This study examines the contributions of Etienne Decroux, Jean-Louis Barrault, Marcel Marceau and Jacques Lecoq to the development of mime.
Mime the Gap
Mime the Gap: Techniques in Mime and Movement explores the physicality of movement in storytelling, offering new ideas about acting and performance, whilst encouraging a contemporary resurgence of this traditional performance art. With detailed, step-by-step instructions of basic to advanced mime illusions, the book addresses the key areas of physicality, including when to move and when not to move, making the invisible 'visible' and the fundamental principles of physical articulation. Additional topics include how to use the elements of Fire, Earth, Water and Air for physical characterization; techniques for performing classic mime routines, such as the Glass Box and the Moonwalk; how to mi...

The Mime Book
"The author takes the reader through the theory and practice of mime, starting simply and working up to advanced techniques. The book has six 'flip' sequences along the outer trim of the pages (three photographs to a page), allowing the reader to 'attend' a performance of mime. There are 175 pictures to illustrate the positions, many of them multiple exposure shots to show several related positions at the same time .... Mime is compared in this book with the other performing arts; it is put into historical perspective and, because mime, is nonverbal, the text also considers various aspects of body language and nonverbal expression"--Jacket copy.
Beyond the Word
"In my 30 years of performing professionally...I have not spoken a single word as an actor, nor have I had the urge to do so." So writes international mime theater artist & teacher, Stefan Niedzialkowski, in this inside look at the mental & physical ingredients of an art form that communicates beyond the word. Marcel Marceau writes in the foreword: "His words about mime...will be of interest to anyone who cares about mime, & they will be very important to young students. BEYOND THE WORD will guide those who are interested in...(the) creative process, as artist or as teacher." A must for mime artists, for dancers & actors who wish to delve more deeply into the art of movement. "The approach is subtle, nuanced & sensitive, as befits the poetic art of mime. The secrets & mysteries of mime are suggested rather than explained through the use of analogies & anecdotes. The personality of the artist delicately colors the presentation..."--Daniel Gerould, Professor at City University of New York.

Towards a Theory of Mime
Towards a Theory of Mime is a genuinely unique book about non-verbal communication and performance. Combining a broad global history of the evolution of human communication with an introduction to the general practice of mime, Alexander Iliev traces a lineage from Marceau and Barrault to his own distinguished practice as performer and teacher. The book moves from a fascinating description of the first principles of gestural language to a stunning sequence of specific exercises in practical training. Written in a sometimes poetic, always accessible and often humorous style, Towards a Theory of Mime conveys complex ideas in a strikingly accessible way. Alexander Iliev has over forty years experience practising and teaching both theatre and anthropology around the world. He is currently Associate Professor at the National Academy in Sofia.
