MIME! An enticing form of body movement and gestures. Also a proven tool for communicating. I use this entry to share my perspective on kinesics. Although the kinesics we are capable of aren't as succulent as miming, these two share a close affinity. Emblems, Illustrators, Regulators, Affect displays and Adaptors. These are some basic nonverbal codes. Nonverbal communication is both universal and cultural because haha there hardly can be any language barrier. Also, behaviours and emotions across cultures tend to be expressed the same. Nonverbal communication is immediate and can be interactive. In the case of mimes and many other circumstances where we see ourselves using kinesics, this tool becomes a linear form of communication. Like in the event of you leaving a boring conference, you tend to gesture to your friend and leave hence after without anticipating any response...Just like in mimes where the audience buy the mummer. Although audience do not react in an obvious manner, it is much debated that they do respond using affect displays. I am certain you are guilty of affect displays this very instance as you decipher my concoction:) Even when we are silent, invisible messages crowd around us; colours excite us, sounds calm us, the smell or look or feel of another human attracts or repels us. I purport this above stated and hereby end this entry here:)
