We are moved by what we see!

Ok So here are a few things to remember when ministering Mime.

Mime is an expression or communication of an emotion, thought, idea, story, etc through body gestures and facial expression with out spoken words.

Mime is a communicator! That is big, when you are a christian mime and you are ministering whether you are spontaneously ministering or you are doing a pre-practiced piece you are a minister at that point and time. Communicating through mime means the mime must interpret beyond words and use other way to get across the thought or idea.

Always remember to EXAGGERATE or Maginify your actions especially your facial expressions, so that the person in the back of the audience will be able to see what you are doing. Its like larger than life actions and facial expressions.

Facial gestures are one of the biggest keys in mime, you have to be able to do the right facial gestures to get across to the audience what it is you want them to do. For example when the pastor and I did God is here back in December we were trying to get the audience to responed to a silent alter call. So we were using gestures trying to pull people to the alter. Pointing at the alter, and when someone came to the alter we pointed at them and shook our heads in agreement to let the audience know that is what we wanted them to do, it was an awesome expreince. When ministering mime you have to exact communication of what it is you want the audience to receive in the message your sending.

I just want to say on another note of our group and that it has gotten off to a great start. This sunday is our offical first ministering oppurtunity as Called to Silence Mime ministry of New Vision Ministry Center. I have to say that I am very nervous about this because it is going to show the rest of the church what the mime ministry is about and the standards are high. So tonight at our last monday practice we have to hit it hard and work out the details because this is going to be a big thing for us.

So If you are reading this and dont go to New Vision Ministry center in Louisville please think about comming and checking us out. If you are a mimer please be ready to work tonight its going to be a very long practice:)
