A collected history of mime

Bari Rolfe brings together more than sixty selections about mime, drawing on writings by performers and figures from theater, dance, criticism, history, and teaching. The collection traces the art’s development and considers its manifestations in theater, film, and dance. Its historical framing connects the selections to a broader account of mime, while the range of named practitioners—from Marcel Marceau and Charlie Chaplin to Jacques Lecoq and Buster Keaton—signals the variety of artists represented. The book offers both a historical overview and a cross-disciplinary collection of perspectives on mime.
