A Silent Street Performer is a MIME, which is an acronym for 'miming' or 'MIMICRY'. MIME is a form of physical theatre in which the performer uses gestures and body movements to convey emotions and ideas without the use of words. It is often used to tell stories or create comedic skits. Silent Street Performers are usually seen in public places such as parks, streets, and other public spaces. They often use props such as hats, masks, and gloves to help them express their art.
