What is Pantomime?


Pantomime is basically acting without words and communicating with your body. Mimes (those performing pantomime) do not speak with their mouths, but express life through movement and through using their bodies to suggest their environment. Acting like you are trapped in an invisible box is an example of pantomime, or mime.

Narrative pantomime utilizes a storyteller or narrator as one acts out the action of the narrative.

Plot/story-based pantomime is a story that unfolds or progresses on its own, with the audience seeing the story rather than hearing it.
