Book Description
To Tony Montanaro, mime is "eloquent gesture", with or without words, with or without props. For 40 years, Tony has been a celebrated mime, at the top of his field, but his approach in this book is more than a lesson in theatre -- it's a lesson in communication. Actors, musicians, and performers of all types will benefit from Tony's techniques and insight.

Book Description
Silence can be powerful. Kathy Kacer’s second book in her middle grade series about heroic rescues during WWII tells the tale of siblings Helen and Henry, and history’s most famous mime. Desperate to save them from the Nazis, Henry and Helen’s mother makes the harrowing decision to take her children from their home in 1940s Germany and leave them in the care of strangers in France. The brother and sister must hide their Jewish identity to pass for orphans being fostered at a convent in the foreign land. Visits from a local mime become the children’s one source of joy, especially for Henry, whose traumatic experience has left him a selective mute. When an informer gives them up, the children are forced to flee yet again from the Nazis, but this time the local mime—a not yet famous Marcel Marceau—risks everything to try to save the children. Masters of Silence shows award-winning author Kathy Kacer at the top of her craft, bringing to light the little-known story of Marceau’s heroic work for the French Resistance. Marceau would go on to save hundreds of children from Nazi concentration camps and death during WWII. In characteristic Kacer style, Masters of Silence is dramatic and engaging, and highlights the courage of both those rescuing and the rescued themselves. Wenting Li’s chapter heading illustrations and evocative covers provide the perfect visuals for the series.

Book Description
"In my 30 years of performing professionally...I have not spoken a single word as an actor, nor have I had the urge to do so." So writes international mime theater artist & teacher, Stefan Niedzialkowski, in this inside look at the mental & physical ingredients of an art form that communicates beyond the word. Marcel Marceau writes in the foreword: "His words about mime...will be of interest to anyone who cares about mime, & they will be very important to young students. BEYOND THE WORD will guide those who are interested in...(the) creative process, as artist or as teacher." A must for mime artists, for dancers & actors who wish to delve more deeply into the art of movement. "The approach is subtle, nuanced & sensitive, as befits the poetic art of mime. The secrets & mysteries of mime are suggested rather than explained through the use of analogies & anecdotes. The personality of the artist delicately colors the presentation..."--Daniel Gerould, Professor at City University of New York. Available from Momentum Books, 6964 Crooks Rd., Ste. 1, Troy, MI 48098; 800/758-1870.

Book Description
Published in France in 1987, this is the book in which Lecoq first set out his philosophy of human movement, and the way it takes expressive form in a wide range of different performance traditions. He traces the history of pantomime, sets out his definition of the components of the art of mime, and discusses the explosion of physical theatre in the second half of the twentieth century. Interviews with major theatre practitioners Ariane Mnouchkine and Jean-Louis Barrault by Jean Perret, together with chapters by Perret on Étienne Decroux and Marcel Marceau, fill out the historical material written by Lecoq, and a final section by Alain Gautré celebrates the many physical theatre practitioners working in the 1980s.
