Included in this course are

the 4 Pillars of Classic Mime!


Being used by individuals, schools, camps and other group environments.

Basic Mime 1: The 7 Axis

In mime, we divide the body in 7 segments called the 7 axes. They are used to study body lines, postures and physical expression. Use as many axes you need and combine them to reproduce postures, age, emotions, animals, objects etc.


This course introduces you to the 7 Axis and starts to show how to maximize the use of them.

Basic Mime 2: The 4 Dynamics

Learn what are and how to use the 4 Dynamics of:

  1. Fondu
  2. Toc
  3. Rebound
  4. Vibrations
Basic Mime 3: Face, Hands and Fixed Point


You can communicate so much with your Face, your Hands and the correct body posture.
