Solo mimes
A solo mime is a complete mime scene where you create the setting, the plot, the other participants. There is always a story or a theme to a solo mine scene.
Here are some examples of solo mimes for you to practice.

Carry a heavy bath in, put it down.
Lift up a bucket of water- pour it into the bath.
Check the temperature – too hot, pour some cold water in.
Look around for your dog. There it is.
Try to coaxit into the bath.
It doesn’t want to come,so lift him up. He is very heavy.
You wash the dog all over.
You try to get hold of it but it jumps out of the bath.
