Implications of Body Coding in the Actor's Performance in the Mime Shows

Abstract

The indications of the physical coding of the actor in the mime shows carry a high visual language that depends on the performance of the actor to form the visual image that the show seeks. The research aims to identify the significance of the physical coding of the actor's performance in the mime shows from the use of the code and the symbol. The research community included twelve presentations, and the research sample included three presentations that were intentionally chosen and included the mime presentations that were presented in Iraq between 2010 and 2015. The research found that the body is one of the most important physical coding mechanisms for producing performance symbols.
