A Mime artist's face is from the base of the neck to the crotch. The chest is his/her eyes, te belly button is the nose and the pelvis is the smile.
2 Chest Rotations right and left
4 Chest Inclinations - see below (Fix rib with fingers and lift up & over waist and incline.) If you get a spare tyre appearing aroundthe waist, you are inclining the waist not the chest. and
4 Chest Translations - see below
As an exercise:
Explore moving the chest through it's different plains and thinking how it makes you feel.
Work with a partner to explore this further and even add a dialogue to your movements
Walk around and put an emotion or motivation on the movement. For example walking with chest (and head) translated forward = Aggressive. Walking with head and neck translated back = reserved.
In a group of 2 to 4 people create a short scene using the chest. Each person could assume a different chest position and play the character accordingly. Or create a short scene where all 10 chest positions are visible and used.
