Mime is form of performance art that can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome, though it is often associated with French culture. Miming is a silent art form that requires the performer to communicate through movement, gestures, and facial expressions. This art form has evolved through the years, and there are many different techniques of miming today. To learn to mime, you should learn the basic movements, practice more advanced moves, and dress like a mime to pull your act together.
