FAQ About The Impact of Mime on Visual Performance Art

What is corporeal mime, and how does it differ from traditional mime?

Corporeal mime is a form of mime developed by Étienne Decroux that emphasizes the physical articulation of abstract ideas and emotions through the body. Unlike traditional mime, which often involves invisible object play and comedic elements, corporeal mime focuses on the body's expressive potential to communicate complex narratives without relying on pantomime or illusionary techniques.
