This precious jewel

This Precious Jewel' is a book about human expression. From body language through character, to archetype and play the book details how the body functions to create a world of non-verbal communication. It places the art of mime in a broad context, far from the white -faced clown, to be not only central in the world of dramatic art but within society in general. We are all mimes. William Dashwood's enormous dedication and unrelenting, infectious enthusiasm has established him as a highly respected teacher and performer. This book contains reflections gathered from more than thirty years of performing and teaching.
