Silent Noise #2...

We had our first workshop with Gregg on tuesday. He is amazing; It was amazing. Mime is obviously extremely hard, but Gregg is such a good teacher that I was able to get the hang of things, well at least the basics. I also think being a dancer makes it a little easier, because if you think about it, mime is dancing. There's technique, choreography, and it's all about expressing emotion with your body. But the thing that makes mime unique is it's invisible. It reminds me of the "holy" chapter of the empty space. It's all about making the invisible visible. With mime, you create your own world, and it can be anything you want it to be.

    AHA!

    ...you think this is a coincidence...?

    Most excellent that you noticed the connection.

    There is the visible/invisible in terms of theme or spiritual dimension, then there is invisible/visible in purely technical terms, and then there is the intersection of the technical with the spiritual, and that is where you want to be.
