​TIPS FOR STILLNESS

• ​Close your eyes.

• ​Focus on your breathing.

• ​Inhale and Exhale.

• ​Visualize the image, animal or emotion that you want to portray.

• ​Just like in the sculpting exercise, you are shaping your body into the form of animal.

• ​Stay still and focus on your breathing.

​MIME, MIMING & TABLEAU

• ​Mime is acting without words.

• ​Miming is when an actor interacts with imaginary props or objects.

• ​Tableau is a frozen or motionless picture.

• ​Mime requires movement while Tableau uses stillness.

• ​Both use elements of non-verbal communication in drama.

​WARM UP: MIMING

​Mime the movements of a dolphin, dog, monkey and turtle.

ANIMAL TABLEAU​

Choose an animal and create a tableau using facial expressions, levels, gestures, emotion and imagination. Remember to be still.​
