Book Reviews of The Mime Book
Book Review: This book is a masterpiece!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the one that made me decide that miming is not just an art; it's a way of life.
Many a lonely hour I have spent in my dorm room hoping that someone could understand my need to mime.
But upon reading this book, I realized that I do not need to hide my mimicry. I am a mime and damn proud of it. Once I graduate, I plan to spend most of my free time doing street mime in NYC. I would urge parents to have their children read this book. Perhaps then they too can become like me, a proud mime!
Summary of The Mime Book
Mime Book is a Meriwether Publishing publication.
The great French mime performer, Claude Kipnis, reveals the mechanisms and techniques of mime in an easy-to-understand translation. This is not a theoretical "art of" book, but a functional "how to" and "why to" instructional guide. Individual exercises are included, together with detailed coverage of body movements, the illusion and how to create a world. We know of no other book that so comprehensively explains how the functions of mime are achieved. Certainly a basic text for any aspiring mime.
