The mime using his body as his tool, his imagination as his motivating force and his talent as his fuel, creates a whole world of characters and scenes on a bare stage. He can portray a man catching a butterfly if he chooses, or he can even portray man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. He can make observations of human behavior, or he can advocate social change: what- ever he wishes can be commu- nicated. Mime is concerned with physical characterization, clarity of gestures and expres- sion, and convincing, physical portrayal. Under the virtuoso direction of Mrs. Baugher, Midlothian’s mime troupe eloquently and artistically performed several times this year. Those students who viewed the extraordinary performances walked away with a sense of awe and a deeper understanding of the simple beauty of life. Sue Jaeger is comforted by her troupe members. Beth Kennedy displays her creativity. 10 Academics
