ABSTRACT
We were most fortunate and privileged to have Judith Harding, mime and storyteller, for our model recently. It was very stimulating to see how she was able to do in her posing, things that animators are constantly called upon to do. “With a flick of the wrist,” as the old saying goes, but actually with all parts of her mind and body, she displayed truly classical ballet poses, traditional and abstract mime poses, and demonstrated her new art form – telling stories, using body gestures. She could also switch to a bashful, comical, almost “cutsey” character. It gave us a chance to study all of those styles in one evening. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780080928234/9b18bc6f-5304-498a-8de8-fcf2e79382cd/content/figpg260_002_C.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
