the meaning behind it at first. I knew the mime riding on the donkey was supposed to depict Jesus, but I did not understand what the mime was doing in each of the episodes. The episode where the mime helps the Roustabout carry the buckets of water up the hill to the elephants was confusing to me. The dunk tank scene was also very confusing to me, as well as the side show and the puppets. The only scenes I understood from the beginning was when the mime was hung in the harness and when Magnus disguised
creating a physical theatre piece the best way to begin is without the voice and instead tell your stories with the body alone. To do this we turned to mime ‘American mime actors perform symbolic actions and express the feelings of their characters honestly through motivated movements they call form’ (Poetry of motion!, 2011) While working with this type of mime in rehearsals it is important to remember to not only convey what you’re are trying to say or story you are trying

Two New Robotic Technologies Introduction A century ago, science fiction writers predicted a world filled with sophisticated robots that were humankind's servants, performing all of the world's mundane and labor-intensive chores. Although that eventuality has not yet been realized, the current trends in robotics technologies indicate that such a world is not far-fetched, but is rather the reality that is going to emerge in the near future. In the meantime, robotic technologies continue to be
“The Conqueror Worm”, written by Edgar Allan Poe, has the theme of the point of life is to die, and it has the mood of pointlessness. The first example of the theme is when the poem says, “The mimes become its food.” By becoming food for the worm, Edgar Allan Poe is showing the death that comes to everybody.

When you look at the brick that is The Mime Order, you’re bound to be intimidated. Intimidation festers into stress which then turns into my favourite pastime—feigning ignorance. AKA pretending that it doesn’t exists until the very last second, further perpetuating stress levels and ensuring bounteous hair loss (how I still have hair is beyond me. My babies fall out like I’m a shitzu and it’s shedding season come early.) Against all odds (or perhaps not, I’ve been known to look past info dumping)
