@Tormawk members of the mime troupe bought my building, evicted the original tennants, and replaced them with mime troupe members, who conspired to have me evicted, they used such bulling tactics that were so extreme that I had to leave for fear for my safty and the safty of my animals.

@vivavasquez Hi there, I realize it's 5 months ago you wrote that comment but I felt like replying.
The SFMT don't to "traditional" miming, they mean mime in the ancient sense "to mimick". So them doing parodies and plays on politics today is not anything fake, they have a message with each play and they're doing a nice job portraying it.
Try to look at things from other viewpoints sometimes, it helps understanding what's going on around you.
Sincerely, Tor

mime is the exaggeration of daily life in story and song...so sez Herodotus.
if you think it means only silent , you'v been duped by an inferior art education and the french. related to commedia... and this (we) is not ' improv'. mimes have a lot to be affronted about, and answer for, but it isn't us!! wise up. sfmt.org

Pedrombelo: they don't mean mime and in the Decroux or Marcel sense (although founder RG Davis did study with Decroux), but Ancient Mime, which is closer to commedia dell'arte.
