Responding to the Statement of Inquiry

Non verbal communication is as powerful as the spoken word in

communicating a narrative to an audience.

5. Do you think that your group effectively used mime skills to communicate a clear
narrative to the audience? Explain your answer. (What mime skills were used to
enable your group to achieve this? E.g. gestures, size shape and weight, facial
expressions.)
