| Description |
Each Mime was preceded and followed by a poem by James K. Baxter, spoken by Stephen O'Rourke. The three mimes were danced by John Casserley, 'provoked' by James K. Baxter. Groans puncture the silence of the mime at points when the thin texture of the movement is supposedly taut with passion. … Certainly the attitudes in the mimes are authentic, if strident, Baxter - fascinated repugnance towards women, delight in the act of poetry and frustration that it cannot become prophecy, and the vision of religion as a puritanical, stoic abasement before a cruel will. |
