M/ABC Wednesday


M is for Mime Artist

A mime artist is someone who uses mime as a theatrical medium by acting out a story through body motions, without use of speech.  Mime is also a popular art form in street theater and busking, a practice of performing in public places for gratuities. Captured these mime artists at Eastwood Mall last year.  I think it takes a lot of discipline to be in this line of work.  I'd be itching all over if I have to stay still for 15 minutes.:p

They really are fascinating to watch. The first one I ever saw was in Avignone, France. He was all silver and everyone was gathered around just waiting for someone to drop a coin in...and when they did, it was so much fun!
