Mimestry

Yesterday I had the privilege of watching a mime group from Pasadena perform under a tent with another dance group. This group called Mimestry was amazing. They presented the gospel message in a very beautiful way. My favorite piece was called "The Craftsman" in which a craftsman was trying to build a beautiful statue. When he left three evil figures came and made the statue sad and broken. When the craftsman returned he couldn't fix the statue. The only way to make it beautiful again was to melt it down completely and start over. When he was finished, it was a beautiful smiling woman.

This group showed a great deal of character, not only in their art but in their lives. I got a chance to be around them before and after the performance and their attitudes were very humbling to me. They took the time to talk to people and really be interested in their lives and getting to know them instead of just talking about themselves and what they do. I was really blessed by meeting this group and I think a lot of lives were changed last night.
