Originating in ancient Greece, mimes (or pantomimes) are people who act out a story by moving their body. This is done without the use of speech, so in a way, it is similar to interpretive dance. Some popular miming actions are rope-climbing, "trapped in the box", the invisible wall, and leaning on air.
