[Andrea dM · Rating 4 out of 5]

a fantastic history of the lineage of corporeal mime, in specifics. an important text for anyone working in physical theatre to understand who their training comes from and the philosophies and cultural contexts of its development. Also knowing about the rest gives the option of digging in somewhere else in the mime family tree.
