The absence of speech and the easily recognizable body language that is common to all people, as well as the condensed time can give to the theatrical pantomime the place that poetry possesses within literature. </span> <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;" > I apprenticed with Marcel Marceau, the great mime and teacher. The visibility of the invisible world the Marceau creates is an undeniable fact. He urged me (because of mime's Greek origin*, and mine also!) to create my own language of mime. I managed to do this, when I finally felt more mature as a theatrical actress of prose. Thus, the Theatre of Silence was born in 1993. In my first performance, (Medea of Silence), I experimented on my own and on myself, trying to express with the body's language the deeper feelings of the myth's heroine. Later on, through a course of seminars, in which I started to apply my new 'mimical' method, I chose a group of actors which I used in the Theatre of Silence performances. </span> <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;" > Mime is the Art that makes the visible world, invisible. And by the word 'world' I don't just mean the world of object, but also the soul's invisible world , the world of big and small emotions. Mime is the Art that allows those things that cannot be said with words, to be expressed with the language of Silence. It is the Art that makes the gaze, the fingers and the toes, the wrists and the ankles, the face's muscles and breathing have their own entity, which is almost independent from the rest of the body. </span> <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;" > I believe that every actor is a mime, with the deep meaning of the word, by the nature of his/her art. According to Aristotle, tragedy, is 'the imitation (mimesis) of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself; in language with pleasurable accessories, each kind brought in separately, in the parts of the work; in a dramatic, not in a narrative form; with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions'. Since all humans' primordial movements and emotions are innate and as these contribute to the everyday existence (thinking, walking, running, waiting, laughing, hurting, crying, falling in love, being afraid, etc.), the actor using the body's memory and the emotional memory that he has been trained to have, re-enacts-imitates these movements and emotions thus constituting the theatrical praxis.<br /></span> <b style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Aspasia Kralli<br /></span></b><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;" >* The Art of Mime is an ancient Greek and was born in Greece several years before the Ancient Drama. The ancient Greek mimes re-enacted myths, on which the great Greek poets of Greek Drama (Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides) were, based their plays later on. </span> <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;" > Relevant Bibliography: </span><ul style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><li style="font-family: arial;">'Mime and Mimes' by Marios Ploritis, Kastaniotis Publications </li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">'Saint Bacchus' by Alexis Solomos, Dodoni Publications</span></li></ul><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"> <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">OTHER THEATRE OF SILENCE PRODUCTIONS<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Love Bites (2002-2003) Ex Machina Theatre</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj52TyrlEpU1LQsX1rBX5vBsNPaPU68R67RogvNzz4D8esMApLoyIMByrizo3vWtepiDtOcSkWq3NDNmi6AQOuN_j1uPOaYewV07PqtiJrgjihjinXKEFjjpvCGoMnG9f-K-9K42DmSLHQ/s1600-h/photo_plays5_big.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 371px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj52TyrlEpU1LQsX1rBX5vBsNPaPU68R67RogvNzz4D8esMApLoyIMByrizo3vWtepiDtOcSkWq3NDNmi6AQOuN_j1uPOaYewV07PqtiJrgjihjinXKEFjjpvCGoMnG9f-K-9K42DmSLHQ/s320/photo_plays5_big.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281607856714426034" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="textblock" align="justify"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >This is the story of nine young people living in a seaside village where love seduces, enchants, disappoints, brings joy and... bites.
