SHORT MIME

Mime is one of the most ancient forms of theatre, appearing around the time of the Greek tragedies. Miming appears very simple but it takes a lot of skill and practice to make it appear realistic. We can use our body to talk. We can use facial expressions and make use of your whole body to do the 'talking'. Use a mirror  to assess what movements are the most successful in conveying emotions, feelings, attitudes and reactions. A video camera, if available, is also an invaluable tool to utilize. 

Start the mime with basic actions. There are some fairly standard techniques that most mime artists begin with. These include manipulating imaginary objects walking in place, climbing imaginary ladders, leaning, and so on.

First of all, we plan our short mime. During this process, we choose a background for the mime. We all agree to choose about love story as a theme for the mime. We created the mime using our creativities. Then, we choose who want to act the character. Fadzillah, Azam and me, play the role in the mime as actor. The cameraman was Hisyam.

We take one night only to record this short mime. During this recording, I was very excited. This was my first time play the role as a main character. From this activity, my confidence level was increase. As a teacher trainer, we can use this short mime in our teaching process. This activity can influence our student’s mood. They also will take part in our teaching and learning process. 

This is our mime video. Enjoy it’s!
