Description
Towards a Theory of Mime is a comprehensive exploration of non-verbal communication and performance art that combines global history with practical instruction. Written by Alexander Iliev, a distinguished performer and teacher, this book traces the evolution of mime from Marceau and Barrault to contemporary practice, offering both theoretical foundation and hands-on training. The work progresses from fundamental principles of gestural language through detailed exercises designed for practical development. Presented in an accessible, often humorous style with poetic flourishes, Towards a Theory of Mime serves performers, students, and anyone interested in understanding how the human body communicates meaning without words. The Routledge publication bridges academic rigour with actionable techniques, making it valuable for theatre professionals and mime enthusiasts alike.
