history of pantomime - a very short introduction
The historical and current developments of pantomime in other countries than Greece, Italy, France, Great Britain, Germany and Poland are less perceived and literature is almost available only in their native languages. Evaluating our increasing source material is therefore difficult. The origins of pantomime are rooted in the ancient Greece. The earliest big stars are Pylades and Bathyllus in the ancient Rome. Therefore, it is difficult to write down a reasonable overview in some words. Many arts are linked with pantomime. A couple of arts are inspired from pantomime and some inspired the pantomime then again. The connections to Commedia dell´arte and silent film are generally known. But also artistry, clownery and the horse shows Have several historical connections to our art. There are close related arts like breakdancing and dance theater. Classical pantomime art is today understood as the technique introduced by Jacques Copeau, Etienne Decroux, Marcel Marceau and Jean Louis Barrault. And also this coryphae had have inspirations. For example the character Bip of Marceau can be seen as a reincarnation of the Pierrot of Deburau. Other great masters like Charlie Chaplin belong to the classics, whose proficiency is a duty to study for each pantomime. Modern pantomime although accesses these techniques, but widening their basis within techniques to represent past or means like Tomaszewski has developed and it must adapt to the viewing habits changed by film and television. To imitate a camera pan and zoom without any technical aids but only using the imagination in the mind of the spectator is hard and mimes are trying this all over world.
