Mime into Physical Theatre: A UK Cultural History 1970–2000
Author: Mark Evans
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000862712
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
This is the first book to investigate the social, political, cultural, artistic and economic forces which created conditions for the rise, success and decline of mime and physical theatre in the United Kingdom, from the 1970s to 2000. Unpicking the various routes through which mime and physical theatre emerged into wider prominence, this book outlines key thematic strands within this history of practice. The book blends historical description and refl ective analysis. It aims to juxtapose the various histories at play within this field, giving critical attention to the voices of the artists, funders and venue managers who were there at the time, particularly recognising the diversity of practitioners and the network of relationships that supported their work. Drawing upon over 40 original interviews, including, amongst others: Joseph Seelig, Helen Lannaghan, Steven Berkoff, Julian Chagrin, Annabel Arden, Nola Rae, Denise Wong, David Glass, Justin Case and Toby Sedgwick, the book offers unique testimonies and memories from key figures active during these three decades. This wide-ranging account of the history, social context, key moments and practical methods gives an unparalleled chronicle of one of the UK’s most vital and pioneering forms of theatre. From undergraduate students to established scholars, this is a comprehensive account for anyone studying contemporary theatre, theatre history, mime, physical theatre and the structures that support the performing arts in the United Kingdom.

Origin of Mime and Dance
Author: Mikhail Berkut
Publisher: Vanguard Press
ISBN: 9781784656119
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Mikhail Berkut is a critically acclaimed choreographer, stage producer and professional ballet teacher. Berkut has produced several videos on dance for adults and children. He has written many articles on dance for leading international magazines and is the author of several books, including his memoirs of his early family life and career in music and dance in his native Russia, North America and Europe. Origin of Mime and Dance is the culmination of his life's work. The result of decades of intensive research, Origin of Mime and Dance is an exploration of the motion of the human body and its gradual evolution from instinct to artifice - the long journey from unconscious reflex to self-conscious performance. The book is split into two sections: Natural Motion and Artificial Motion. Beautifully illustrated, it aims to clarify some basic principles regarding the anthropology and evolution of natural motion and its transformation into performed compositions. In the process, Berkut hopes to open up new ways of looking at these areas. 'Berkut's ability to tackle every subject from a practical, as well as an analytical point of view is always remarkable ... this comprehensive work fills an important gap ... It is a must for all dance-related organizations.' Hans-Theodor Wohlfahrt, Dance Critic and Historian '... a most important contribution to our knowledge of body movement in time and space, as an instrument of artistic expression.' Giorgio Tellan, Italian Art Historian

Body Talk
Author: Mario Diamond
Publisher: Modern Vaudeville Press
ISBN: 9781733971218
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
From the foreword: The art of mime is the identification with the essence of all things, and the portrayal of thought and emotion through silent physical expression. A mime works with the laws of physics: weight, gravity, principles of motion and resistance and inertia. We move through space as a visible, tangible substance. Mime training is different from other movement disciplines like dance and gymnastics. It is specific to the art of silent communication. Mario Diamond does a welcome service with this book, helping to promote the techniques and principles of our misunderstood and fragile art. - Rob Mermin
