Performance without words Photos & text by Katharine Choi Mime is an art form in which the artists try to convey their messages to the audience through gestures, facial expressions and the atmosphere of wordless environment. Since it is wordless, the audience does not expect direct communication with actors. However, the “Mime Touch Theatre” breaks this customary practice with an interactive mime performance.
