Create+Your+Own+Mini-Mime+Show

You have now participated in a 3-day workshop and attended a professional mime performance by the world-known mime, Robert Rivest. You now have the basic skills to develop and perform a brief show. Either working alone or in small groups, create a mini-mime show.

Steps to creating your own mime show: 1. Select a theme by answering this question, "What would you like your show to be about?" For example, you might choose to do a show about a letter in the alphabet, like Mr. Rivest did in his performance. Or, perhaps you want to do a show about your favorite sport, favorite activity, favorite game, or school subject. Whatever you choose to do, pick something you like or in which you are interested. Make sure it is a something with which you can have fun. 2.Think of ideas related to your theme that you want to tell to your audience. For example, if your theme is reading and writing, you might want to tell your audience that reading and writing makes you smarter. Think of ways you can say this with motions and movement. 3. Brainstorm with your partners different ways you can express your ideas by using the skills you learned and practiced during the mime workshop. 4. Create a story board of your mime show that describes in drawings and words how your show will look. 5. Begin practicing your mime show. 6. Perform your mime show. 7. If you like, we can film your mime show and post it on our website.
