Hiya, I'm not usually a mime fan but I saw this today and thought for a couple of people with paper on their faces it was surprisingly intense and provocative.

Hey, Jones...thanks for posting these...very interesting! Like you I'm not a mime fan...in fact there's something about them that I find really sinister for some odd reason. But that one with the paper faces was really powerful, as you say...I thought the concept wa sinteresting because I do (did, before therapy) so much of that myself....putting on a paper face, creating the proper emotion in myself in response to the moment...now I'm finding that much harder to do, because of what my T is teaching me about authenticity- that is feeling only what you actually DO feel. For me, easier said than done. I feel like I'm kind of at a crossroads, trying to figure out who "the real me" is... I wonder if this was part of what the mimes here were trying to express...? Along with the idea that others may try to manipulate our emotions or "make" us feel what we may not feel...interesting stuff.
