In this unit, students will discover the power of physical expression as they learn how to communicate meaning and character without words. Through focused work on body language, gesture, facial expression, and proxemics, students will develop the ability to tell stories and convey emotion using mime. Lessons introduce foundational mime techniques, including isolations, and provide practical exploration of classic pantomime exercises such as “pulling a rope,” “trapped in a box,” and shaping boxes and balls. By the end of the unit, students will be able to demonstrate control, clarity, and creativity in using the body as a dynamic storytelling tool.
