Echoes of Expression – Mime
Description of the Event:
“Actions speak louder than words.”
Mime is a form of silent theatrical performance where the story is told through body movements, facial expressions, and gestures—without using any spoken words. It is the art of communicating through movement, relying on creativity, control, and emotional expression to convey powerful messages.
The mime ends with a hopeful message often depicted by uplifting music, synchronised movements and symbolic pose.
