-- Jean Callovini Barbour ( talk) 17:49, 9 July 2012 (UTC)American Mime is an art form created in 1952 by Paul J. Curtis, Founder/Director of The American Mime Theatre; it is different from the French Pantomime often associated with Marcel Marceau. It is a unique indigenous art that blends, in new balance, the art of acting and moving; American Mime is a complete theater medium defined by its own aesthetic laws, terminology, techniques, script material and teaching methods, in which non-speaking actors, in characterization, perform the symbolic activities of American Mime plays through movement that is both beautiful and telling.
