Mime Skills Workshop

Mime skills are important to the professional interpreter because of their relationship to the visual nature of American Sign Language. Classifiers, eye gaze locatives and use of space are all enhanced by learning sense memory techniques used by professional mimes all over the world. Maryanne was trained in Edina, Minnesota in the Greg Goldstein style of mime.

Workshop will include:

• Eye contact exercises
• Mirror game
• Decorate your room with people as furniture
• "Be a flower, be a race car, ice cream cone"
• Pass the object: real and mimed
• Use the object: real and mimed
• Describe and use an item without signs
