James the Mime

Stretching

I'm fifty-six years old, soon to be fifty-seven. I still feel like I'm seventeen. LOL. But, I'm planning on doing a mime tour next summer in Canada and possibly Italy. So, it's back to stretching. I have a huge mirror in my living room and I stretch while I listen to podcasts. I happened to look in the mirror and noticed my legs weren't straight at all. So I straightened them. The overall look for the body was much better. Mime, after all, is all about the lines. But this, of course, made me able to touch my shins before wincing in pain.

Mime, fortunately, is also about character. So, think Charlie Chaplin. It looks like my act next year will need to be more character-driven. Maybe this is a hint for my writing. Is this where I should go with my fiction?
