THE MIME OF THINGS is a course on the subjective aspects of objective THINGS that we encounter in our day to day life and how Mimes use them as Metaphors to create A Poetry of the PHYSICAL. This is part of the ongoing Non - Verbal Adjectives: an exploration of Silent & Non Verbal Art-forms project by Mooladhvani In Movement & Expression and Auroville Film Institute.

We are surrounded by things that seem inanimate in nature but hold some strange value in our lives not necessarily due to their general use and function but due to some subjective association we have attributed to them in course of our day to day interactions with those items. Sometimes they hold a fascination right from our first interaction and may continue to grow with the passage of time eventually dictating our interactions with everything else.

Mimes know this all too well and use this as part a of their invisible world, giving what could be a cup, or a pen, a wall or to that matter a hammer; a life and an expression that is all hidden within us.
