Mime Movement

Association will be remembered for long as the harbinger of Mime Movement in India. It not only perfected mime, gave it sophistication and made it the media of full length drama - as against short skits, but also popularized and propagated it across the country. Its Mime troupe visited different parts of the country and staged mime shows titled Mumu based on the story by Chokhev there. These performances were highly acclaimed.
